Bio
Jason Quill
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dannah for the past three years. She is passionate about her work and always willing to jump into new areas. As a biomedical scientist, she has helped define the use conditions and boundary conditions for our products, as well as led efforts around usability, risk management, and even electrical testing. She has also continued to expand her engineering knowledge base by working towards her master’s degree in mechanical engineering, transferring the skills from her coursework into practical applications at work, including thermal analysis of our ablation device and design of experiments. I am excited to see where Dannah’s career takes her. Her drive and attention to detail will lead to great things!

I had the privilege to work with Dannah in The Visible Heart Laboratory at The University of Minnesota. Dannah was tasked with complex electrophysiology studies working with phrenic nerves. Her detailed efforts to perform micro dissections on isolated phrenic nerves and performing these electrophysiology studies helped our laboratory acquire unique data sets helping us to better understand how ablative modalities might affect nearby structures like the phrenic nerves. Furthermore, Dannah showed great leadership skills in her efforts to independently train new volunteer students for different aspects of our laboratory. She made every effort to inform new students the importance of following laboratory procedures, allowing reproducibility within our studies. Danna’s work was very appreciated by the laboratory and believe she would make a tremendous asset for any research team.
