Misuk is researching heart failure at the Cardiovascular Department at Novartis . Understanding the underlying mechanism of heart failure is important for developing drugs targeting for the prevention and regression of heart failure.  She writes: "The good thing about working in a big company is there are a lot of resources I can utilize and I get help
from great experts. Co-operation is a great tool to move projects forward."
