Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Institute is a scientific research center dedicated to conducting basic and applied research to advance the understanding of human disease and the improvement of human health. The Institute fosters an innovative research environment with a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to the discovery process - bringing together physical and life science researchers, clinicians, engineers/ and computational scientists to address the significant health care challenges of heart and vascular disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders through a multi-scale understanding of organ systems. Institute researchers have expertise in both experimental and computational disciplines. The former utilizes the experimental reductionist approach to dissect the biological system into its molecular, cellular and tissue components. The latter use a computational integrative approach to synthesize the parts using laws of physics and chemistry to understand the whole organ. The Institutes multi-discipline
Bringing together physical and life science researchers, clinicians, engineers/ and computational scientists to address the significant health care challenges of heart and vascular disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders through a multi-scale understanding of organ systems.
THE INSTITUTE HAS MADE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN MORE FULLY UNDERSTANDING, ANDDEVELOPING DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES FOR THE MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF HEART FAILURE. THE INSTITUTE HAS ALSO MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THE UNDERSTANDING ANDTREATMENT OF VASCULAR DISEASE, INCLUDING WORK ADVANCING NEXT GENERATION DIAGNOSTICSFOR CORONARY AND PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE AND THERAPEUTICS FOR NEO-VASCULARIZATION OF VEINS, BIOMATERIAL TISSUE CONSTRUCTS TO REPLACE ARTERIES OR VEINS, AND PERCUTANEOUS PROSTHETIC VENOUS VALVES TO TREAT CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY. DURING THE YEAR, THE RESEARCH STAFF AT THE INSTITUTE REGULARLY PRESENTED ITS SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS TO THE PUBLIC VIA PANELS, LECTURES, PUBLICATIONS, AND OTHER SIMILAR PROGRAMS.
