The goal of the Hannah Wernke Memorial Foundation is to Build awareness of and to raise funds benefiting CPVT genetic heart research. And, if fund raising goals are met, to award scholarships for graduating High School Seniors from Strongsville, Ohio who plan to major in education.
Research
The Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory at Mayo Clinic, directed by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., is dedicated to exposing the genetic causes behind these tragedies, specifically those that disrupt the heart’s electrical system. Dr. Ackerman is working to identify the genetic causes behind CPVT and to figuring out ways to defuse or protect patients from this ticking time bomb.
