Facilitating Veteran-Focused Research and Education
Dr. Ramil Goel Teams with Research Lead for Innovative Research Funding Campaign
Research Lead is a new option for research funding similar to websites such as Go Fund Me, but Research Lead focuses on advancing meaningful, high-quality, and socially-driven medical research like Dr. Goel’s. His project, Bacteria Living in the Human Gut and Life-Threatening Heart Rhythms, will explore whether gut bacteria are linked to cardiac arrhythmias that can cause sudden death. Research Lead also enables scientists to explain their work directly to the public.
Check out the video of Dr. Goel's at his campaign website, where he explains his work. His campaign is just getting started.
