Emilia Fong-Gallagher '24
Emilia Fong-Gallagher was selected as a UConn Idea Grant recipient for 2023 through the Office of Undergraduate Research.
Emilia’s IDEA Grant project was inspired by a very special horse, whose diagnosis and treatment sparked her interest in learning more about the functions of vitamin E in equines and its preventative properties when it comes to neuromuscular diseases. Over the summer, Emilia collected blood samples from three groups of UConn Morgan horses to analyze serum alpha-tocopherol vitamin E concentrations in order to compare the effectiveness of powder vs. liquid forms of vitamin E supplementation.
