Karthik has been a truly tireless worker in the lab, and has overcome some serious hurdles to be able to do his research. This hard work has paid off with the award of a Collins Foundation Award to fund his project "The double-edged sword of endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in perinatal cardiac myocyte apoptosis." Congratulations Karthik!
