...the greatest concentration of cardiovascular investigators at the University of Louisville, but our interests are not restricted to the heart. Our team has expertise across multiple organ systems. Although our Center has a history of excellence in integrative studies of cardiovascular function, our current scientific vision includes the communication among organ systems in the contexts of heart failure, exercise, aging, and health.

...our expertise in the metabolic, immunologic, toxicologic, and fibrotic causes and consequences of health and disease, with an emphasis on the cardiovascular system. We house a suite of modern instrumentation and highly specialized services to support investigators in our Center, on our campus, and more broadly in the scientific community. Check out our recent activities or the various lab webpages of our faculty members.
