Ashley,
Just wanted to say thanks for putting this together. Great to see your work to date and learn that you’re planning to keep it going!

Hey Ashley,
This was a very interesting poster! I think your research behind gene inhibition to increase cardiomyocyte proliferation is very important, especially in the field of healthcare when working with survivors of severe heart attacks. In your conclusion you noted that some of the plasmids that you used turned out to be impure. To what extent did that alter the current research, and how will that affect how you address future research (will you screen the same genes with more purified plasmids, or will you examine other genes to determine how they affect CM proliferation)?
