Iranian-born Dr. Maryam Abdollahi, a postdoctoral fellow at Dal, has demonstrated that having the right support system and a willingness to embrace and learn from challenges can lead to great things.

Thousands of Canadians are saved each year by a device inserted in the body that zaps the heart back on track when it鈥檚 threatened by dangerous rhythms, but the side effect is pain and trauma. A Dalhousie researcher has determined the most effective way to limit the shocks, prompting a re-evaluation of heart treatment worldwide.
