Welcome to the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute
Welcome to the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute
Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) researchers are dedicated to understanding how the heart and blood vessels become susceptible to disease. Using state-of-the-art technologies, new treatments and diagnostic tests are being developed and analyzed for potential use in clinical cardiovascular medicine.
A major component of our efforts also centers on the training of students, residents, and cardiology clinical and research fellows. By utilizing full time academic faculty, with significant research interests and abilities, and the clinical and research resources of the University and the Hospital, we are able to provide training programs that produce well rounded clinical and research cardiologists. Our graduates are routinely sought out for top positions in both clinical and research institutions in the region and around the nation.

International MADS Box Conference
International MADS Box Conference
The second IMBC meeting was held July 8-11, 2018 in majestic Lake Placid. Some 60 investigators from around the world gathered at the Crowne Plaza Lake Placid for some 25 talks and poster sessions, all focused on SRF, MEF2 and related cofactors.
The event was attended by a diverse group of investigators studying heart, blood, vessels, brain, and liver in an array of developmental and disease contexts. IMBC will continue in 2020 or 2021 in San Francisco or China.
About the CVRI
About the CVRI
The University of Rochester Medical Center opened the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) in 2007. Our institute consists of more than 60 scientists, students and technicians.
The 9 cardiovascular research laboratories in the institute currently conduct more than 20 research projects with the goal of furthering the understanding of heart disease. Projects range from the design of novel diagnostic approaches to research into how atherosclerotic plaque builds up in arteries to efforts to identify genes that control heart failure.
A major component of our efforts also centers on the training of students, residents, and cardiology clinical and research fellows. By utilizing a full-time academic faculty with significant research interests and abilities and the clinical and research resources of the University and the Hospital, we are able to provide training programs that produce well rounded clinical and research cardiologists.
