Congrats to @PennBioeng’s Dr. Noor Momin—2025 Faculty Starter Grant in Drug Discovery awardee by @PhRMAFoundation!.She’s engineering a new, personalized therapy for AFib, one of the most common and disruptive heart conditions, and it’s already advancing toward clinical relevance.
#PhF25 awardee @noor_M0MIN @pennbioeng @PennEngineers is developing a therapy for atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat condition. Her lab found the therapy alleviates #Afib in a mouse model & is now testing in human cells. Watch her full interview:
