Burke Cardiomyopathy Lab
Congestive heart failure is a major public health problem, afflicting millions of Americans and costing our health care system in excess of $30 billion annually. Heart failure is also incredibly morbid, with a 5-year mortality of ~50%, which is worse than most common forms of cancer. Our lab uses all means of molecular and genetic tools to study the fundamental processes in the heart that underlie cardiac dysfunction and failure. A major focus of the lab is characterizing the epigenomic changes that occur in heart failure. Our mission is to translate this research into clinical advances that will have a meaningful impact on patient care.
Emory Cardiovascular Imaging & Biomechanics Core Laboratory
Emory Cardiovascular Imaging & Biomechanics Core Laboratory
Davis Cardiovascular Lab
The Davis basic science cardiovascular laboratory focuses on various aspects of cardiac regeneration and preservation using molecular-based and biomaterials-based approaches to restoring function after cardiac injury.
Clinical Cardiology Research (ECCRI)
The mission of the Emory Clinical Cardiovascular Research Institute (ECCRI) is to better understand the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and to develop new approaches to the manipulation of cardiovascular function and the treatment of disease.
Griendling Cardiovascular Lab
The Griendling basic science cardiology laboratory focuses on the role of reactive oxygen species in smooth muscle proliferation, migration and differentiation, and the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of vascular disease.
Hansen Cardiovascular Lab
Dr. Hansen's lab studies the interactions between satellite cells and the vasculature.
Jo Cardiovascular Lab
Jo Lab in Vascular Mechanobiology and Disease
Levit Cardiovascular Lab
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. We are dedicated to developing new therapies to help cardiac patients by identifying, testing, and moving new therapies towards clinical use. We study stem cell therapies to prevent heart damage and promoting repair. We use biomaterials to increase cell retention, increase efficacy, and target activity.
Rezvan Cardiovascular Lab
The Rezvan lab focuses on how mechanical forces influence the interaction between endothelial cells and the immune system, contributing to atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases
Searles Cardiovascular Lab
The Searles cardiovascular lab is focused on molecular mechanisms by which different physiologic and pathophysiologic stimuli modulate vascular gene expression.
Taylor Cardiovascular Lab
The overall focus of the Taylor laboratory is to gain a better understanding of the role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease.
Yoon Cardiovascular Lab
The Yoon Lab has been working on stem cell research in various cardiovascular diseases. Our major research interest is to use stem cell technology to treat various cardiovascular diseases, and we have been developing and using different bone marrow-derived stem sell or progenitor cells for cardiovascular repair.
Cores
Microscopy in Medicine Core
The Microscopy in Medicine Core at Emory University was established in 2000 as a core facility providing access to histology and state-of-the-art imaging instrumentation on a shared-use basis to faculty, staff and students of the Emory Division of Cardiology and Emory Department of Medicine. The facility is located in the Woodruff Memorial Research Building (WMB) on the Emory campus.
