UM Knowledge Exchange is an important opportunity for UM researchers to share emerging knowledge with members of the public and the wider UM community. UM Knowledge Exchange is hosted by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International), with support from the UM Learning for Life Network.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and in Canada. Heart attack and heart failure can happen at any age, leading to significant impacts to quality of life for patients and their families. New ground-breaking research from UM is seeking to provide specialized supports and treatment for women living with heart disease and explores the genetic roots of cell death to hopefully someday, reverse or prevent heart failure.
