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.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Phenotyping Lab (CCPL)
Consolidated laboratories to provide in-depth, sophisticated analyses of cardiovascular function in health and disease for investigators inside and outside the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
One Shop for All
CCPL is a specialized facility dedicated to the comprehensive assessment and characterization of cardiovascular function and health in animal models. The lab employs a wide range of tools and techniques to provide detailed insights into the cardiovascular system. Here are some of the primary uses and purposes of such a lab:
- Research and Discovery
- Cardiovascular Disease Studies
- Phenotyping Animal Models
- Drug and Intervention Testing
- Teaching and Training
- Advanced Imaging and Diagnostics
- Genetic and Molecular Studies
- Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
