Jessica Miller Receives SPS Technological Innovation Publication Award

Jessica Miller, postdoctoral associate in the Laboratory for Cardiac Regeneration, was awarded the 2023 Technological Innovation Publication Award from the Safety Pharmacological Society for her latest paper “Biomimetic cardiac tissue culture model (CTCM) to emulate cardiac physiology and pathophysiology ex vivo.” The award recognizes the novel and impactful new technology that can facilitate safer medicine for everyone. Her technology to culture human heart slices has been widely used to ensure the safety of new therapeutics before testing them in humans. Her mentor is Tamer Mohamed, Ph.D., director of the Laboratory for Cardiac Regeneration.
