CVRTI Vascular And Genetics Program
The CVRTI Vascular and Genetics Program investigates how genetic, molecular, and vascular factors contribute to cardiovascular disease. Using population data, cellular and animal models, and interdisciplinary approaches that integrate medicine, engineering, and bioscience, the program studies mechanisms of arrhythmia, vascular dysfunction, and cardiovascular complications associated with aging, obesity, and chronic kidney disease. The overarching goal is to improve understanding of cardiovascular disease mechanisms and advance precision and therapeutic strategies.
