UC study examines role of metabolites in disease treatment Full Story
Cardiovascular Health and Disease is within the UC Health network, where expert physicians, advanced nurse practitioners, and sub-specialty care providers come together with researchers from the UC College of Medicine to uncover breakthroughs in cardiovascular medicine.
We are translational researchers, working side by side with clinicians to get an even better understanding of the complex cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, gaining the insight needed to quickly turn discoveries into new therapies for people with or at risk for heart, lung or vascular disease.
Cardiovascular Health and Disease is now accepting Letters of Intent for the 2018 HLVI Near Horizons Precision Medicine Research Grant.
Our world-renowned faculty’s commitment to cutting-edge research and science-driven patient care is training the next generation of physicians and scientists who will be making further discoveries and treating the patients of tomorrow.
