The goals of the Cardiovascular Research Group are to promote collaborative multidisciplinary cardiovascular research at the U of S; build capacity in cardiovascular research through training and recruitment; and promote and advance cardiovascular wellness. The common research theme of CVRG is to determine how the cardiovascular function is regulated by a complicated cellular information network. Research progress of this Group will shed light on the mechanisms of many cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and stroke.
