Yuriana Aguilar, the first undocumented student to receive a Ph.D. from UC Merced, discusses her biomedical research studying mouse hearts. She injects a special dye into the heart so she can observe the electrical signaling going on in the membrane of each cell. Aguilar is looking at mouse hearts to figure out what happens in the human heart just before sudden cardiac death, which kills hundreds of thousands of people each year.
