Creativity & Innovation in the THI IDEA Lab
University of Houston’s Carlos Uribe and Syracuse University’s Payton Campbell created an inspirational video to highlight the progressive research and training programs across the Texas Heart Institute. They spent the summer researching the Texas Heart Institute’s over 50-year collection of historical videos and photographs, working closely with the entire Visual Communications team, Director of Communications, and Library & Learning Resource Center staff. The video provides a glimpse into a typical day at THI. A shortened version of this video introduces the episodes of the THI Educational Series, Innovative Technologies & Techniques.
Texas Heart Institute School of Perfusion Technology student, Leslie Gonzalez, was awarded the prestigious Perfusion Without Borders scholarship and will travel with the Novick Cardiac Alliance to Medellin, Colombia in February of 2020.

Her fondest wish came true when she traveled to the Texas Heart Institute and CHI St. Luke’s Health in Houston, Texas in partnership with Make-a-Wish New Jersey. For an entire week, Micaela shadowed some of the world’s best in cardiothoracic science. Learn More
Payton Campbell created an exceptional interactive learning tool that shows adolescents the hearts of animals in order to help them understand the importance of their own heart. Her museum touch box project, Comparative Anatomy of the Heart, is currently being used in the Houston Museum of Natural Science Eco Labs for students and visiting schools to use.
