Description
The American Physiological Society (APS), through its Translational Physiology Interest Group (TPIG), recognizes predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees conducting high-impact research with the goal of translating findings to understand or potentially treat human disease. This travel award supports presentation of that research at the American Physiology Summit. Its central focus is the connection between research findings and their potential to advance understanding of human disease.
The award is made possible by a donation from David D. Gutterman, MD, a distinguished professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. His career has focused on human microvascular function in health and disease using innovative translational approaches, alongside mentoring students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty.
