£30,000 boost as students tackle heart disease

A CHARITY has announced funding of £30,000 for two Yorkshire students to work on projects to find new ways to treat heart disease.

Leeds-based Heart Research UK has provided the cash for two Leeds Undergraduate Research Enterprise scholarships.

Leeds University students Euan Bright is looking at how an enzyme in the blood may give doctors more information on a patient’s susceptibility to a heart attack, and Dahlia Abdul-Rahman is researching the possibility of using new arteries to repair or bypass diseased or damaged 
arteries.
