About this research area
Our research spans basic science to translational studies aimed at understanding, diagnosing, and treating cardiovascular disease across adult and pediatric populations. We integrate innovative approaches to evaluate cardiovascular health and develop disruptive technologies to treat diseases of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatics.
- Cardiac remodeling and repair
- Atherosclerosis and vascular diseases
- Thrombosis and hemostasis
- Lymphedema and lymphatic function
