Each year, UNC honors graduate students in programs throughout our university for their powerful discoveries that contribute to a better future for people and communities in North Carolina. The Impact Award recognizes discoveries with a direct impact on our state in the present time.
UNC awarded Gabriela this award for her work on “Identifying Arterial Plaque Most Associated With Stroke Risk”, which encompasses technologic development to provide a non-invasive identification of plaque composition toward a better stroke risk assessment.
