Reversing Atherosclerosis: A Paradigm shift in cardiovascular disease treatment
| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Ottawa | | City: | Ottawa, ON | | School: | Colonel By S.S. | | Abstract: | A novel method of treating atherosclerosis using biocompatible solvents is presented. The project will present the concept, a theoretical framework for the treatment method as well as the experimental results of the in-vitro testing achieved to date. The metabolic pathways of the solvent and interaction with blood proteins will also be discussed and analyzed as a precursor to beginning an initial animal study in 2015. |
