Email this pageWelcome to the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute
The faculty of the CVRI focus on five areas of research in the cardiovascular system.
- Vascular and developmental biology
- Response to ischemic injury
- Electrophysiology and ion channels
- Molecular pharmacology and signal transduction
- Genetics of cardiovascular disease
The overall goal is to understand how the cardiovascular system develops and responds to physiological and pathological changes. Understanding these processes will provide insight into new therapeutic approaches to treat diseases such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis.
Four areas of research will be developed in the Center for Cardiovascular Research. These areas are vascular and developmental biology; ischemic injury, molecular pharmacology and signal transduction; and genetics of cardiovascular disease. The overall goal is to understand how the cardiovascular system develops and responds to physiological and pathological changes.
Advancing our understanding of the basic mechanisms responsible for normal and pathological function of the cardiovascular system.
