FEARON RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS NIH GRANT

WILLIAM F. FEARON, instructor in medicine (cardiovascular medicine), recently received a National Institutes of Health K23 Career Development Award. The five-year grant for more than $500,000 is earmarked for Fearon's studies on coronary microcirculation. Specifically, he is using a wire with a miniaturized sensor near its tip to measure the pressure and flow of blood in the coronary artery to gain a better understanding of coronary physiology. ALAN YEUNG, a faculty cardiovascular medicine specialist, is the primary award mentor. The co-mentors are cardiovascular medicine faculty members PAUL YOCK, and JOHN COOKE, as well as MARK HLATKY, whose primary appointment is in health research and policy. Fearon conducts his research through Stanford's Center for Research in Cardiovascular Interventions.
