What We’re Achieving

Making The Connection Between Microvasculature With Cardiovascular Disease

Our Focus

Investigating how bioactive lipids are regulated in human endothelial cells

01

The Clinical Link

We operate at the critical intersection of clinical medicine and laboratory research. By utilizing discarded surgical specimens, we bring real human biology directly to the lab bench.
02

Human-Centric Research

Animal models and cell cultures have limitations. Our translational approach allows us to study living, intact human microvessels from individuals with and without cardiovascular disease, yielding insights that are directly applicable to human health.
03

Future-Focused Impact

Because microvascular dysfunction often precedes large artery disease, our translational data is uniquely positioned to help identify early warning signs of atherosclerosis and heart failure before they turn into major adverse events.
