Congratulations to Dr. Amir Ravandi, Principal Investigator, Cardiovascular Lipidomics, Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, who was recently awarded a $20,000 grant from the Manitoba Medical Service Foundation (MMSF) for his study “Role of oxidized phospholipids in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury”.
From the MMSF website: The MMSF endeavors to follow its roots by: being committed to community; providing mentorship and feedback through direct engagement of applicants, for which the highest priority for funding is given to new researchers who are establishing themselves in Manitoba and do not yet have long-term stable research funding; developing collaborative partnerships with other granting organizations; providing funding to advance health-related research for the benefit of Manitobans; managing our resources with an aim to sustain our mission for future generations.
