American Heart Association-funded researchers at UB and supporters gathered last month with AHA representatives, including Ticker, the organization’s heart-shaped mascot, in the lobby of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to promote the AHA’s Heart Walk on Sept. 12. AHA Buffalo representative Justin King (third from right) and Ticker are pictured with, from left, Jacobs School reps Benny Joyner, Emily Hudson, Xuejian Huang, Sarah Augustynek, Anna Blumental-Perry and Anagha Betadpur.
