At Stanford, the Cardiovascular Institute is forging common goals, an integrative culture and shared language to unite basic science and clinical researchers with practitioners and educators to tackle fundamental questions about and solutions for cardiovascular disease, treatment and prevention. "Through novel interdisciplinary collaborations, new insights are being translated into more effective, precise, gender specific therapies and minimally invasive techniques to prevent or reverse heart and vascular damage," said Robert C. Robbins, M.D., Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Director. As important, the Institute's leading edge cardiac, vascular, stem cell, genetic and imaging research shape an interdisciplinary education program that is training future leaders in cardiovascular science and medicine.
