What is Dr. Aune currently researching?
Pre-clinical Evaluation of Anthracycline Equivalency: “Recent studies have linked cancer therapy with cardiac disease in adulthood. The overall goal of my research is to understand how pediatric cancer treatments damage the heart and develop new strategies to decrease heart disease in long-term cancer survivors of childhood cancer. My long-term career goal is to identify the mechanisms that cause cardiac disease in childhood cancer survivors.” – Dr. Aune
