Discovering the Future: CIRC Undergrads Present at UCI Research Symposium!
The UC Irvine campus buzzed with excitement from May 12 to 16, 2025, as the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) hosted its annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. This year’s event, themed “Discovering the Future Together,” showcased the remarkable research and creative activities of hundreds of UCI undergraduates. The week-long symposium featured diverse presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, highlighting the breadth and depth of undergraduate research at UCI. We are particularly proud to announce that our CIRC and BME undergraduates performed exceptionally well! We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all student presenters and our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported this showcase of UCI’s commitment to undergraduate research and academic excellence.
Chesler lab
Naomi Chesler Lab, Engineering cardiopulmonary health. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is understudied compared to left ventricular failure (LVF) but worsens morbidity and mortality from LVF and also displays intriguing and poorly understood sex dependence. The CheslerLab strives to better understand and prevent RVF by focusing on three aspects of cardiopulmonary physiology and pathophysiology: right ventricular function, pulmonary vascular blood flow dynamics, and how changes in the large and small pulmonary arteries alter blood flow dynamics and thus right ventricular function. We also seek to understand sex differences in incidence and progression of RVF. The CheslerLab combines clinical, preclinical, in vitro, and in silico approaches to achieve these aims.
