Our Mission
Combatting disease. Transforming health.
Cardiometabolic disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This challenge demands integrative, mechanism-driven solutions. At our Center, we unite investigators across cardiovascular biology, metabolism, immunology, genomics, and physiology to address the most pressing questions for human health.
Our approach is mechanistic, collaborative, and translational.
Integrated, Systems-Level Science
We move beyond single-organ silos to study physiological function across interconnected systems.
Advanced Research Platforms
Our shared cores provide standardized, high-quality phenotyping, imaging, metabolic, and molecular capabilities.
Collaborative Culture
Faculty, staff, trainees, and other partners work together in a highly interactive, team-science environment.
Translational Impact
Our work informs therapeutic development, biomarker discovery, and disease modeling relevant to human health.

Cardiovascular Structure & Function
Studying fundamental aspects of the heart, including heart failure.
Metabolism & Bioenergetics
Understanding fundamental aspects of intermediary metabolism.
Inflammation
Deciphering immune responses and the regulation of their resolution.
Physiologic Adaptation
Investigating the impact of exercise, sleep, and pregnancy on the heart.
Environmental Cardiology
Discerning how exposures impact the cardiovascular system.
More than $40M in active research funding.
Twelve of our last fourteen PhD graduates held an individual NIH or AHA fellowship.
