My name is Amal Anilkumar, and I am a rising senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Physiology and Medical Sciences with a minor in Biochemistry. I have been working in the Goldman Laboratory in the Sarver Heart Center for over two years, where we assess chronic heart failure in swine and mouse models. I am involved in several projects within our lab, most of which revolve around the utilization of imaging techniques such as MRI to assess parameters such as cardiac wall strain and wall stress. Some of my other involvements include the Senate of the Association of Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA), Alpha Epsilon Delta pre-professional health, the Department of Physiology Peer Mentor System, U Arizona Physiology Ambassadors, and the SPARCC Concussion Clinic.
