The Center for Cardiovascular Research (CCR) supports basic and translational research focused on understanding cardiovascular biology and the biological processes that are responsible for cardiovascular diseases. By providing novel interfaces and facilitating collaborations among investigators in diverse disciplines, the CCR also supports research focused on the development of innovative new diagnostics and therapies to improve the lives of individuals with cardiovascular diseases.

In addition, the CCR provides an exciting, rigorous and highly interactive training environment for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in careers in basic and translational cardiovascular sciences. The diverse expertise and research in the CCR provide an exceptional environment and unique opportunities for training, mentoring and career development.
