Nearly 50 percent of all deaths in the United States are due to some form of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure and stroke. The mission of the Division of Hypertension and Vascular Research is to advance scientific knowledge in the field of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, with the objective of reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Our research endeavors represent a diverse and integrated program with state-of-the-art expertise ranging from molecular and cell biology to whole-organism physiology. Important issues in these fields are addressed in an integrated manner that would not be possible without such a broad range of expertise. This approach promotes productivity and offers a broad range of training options.
The Division of Hypertension and Vascular Research is currently made up of:
13 full-time research scientists and physicians
Three administrative support personnel
One editor
12 full-time post-doctoral M.D. and Ph.D. research fellows
Two part-time clinical fellows rotating as research fellows, and
Seven scientific technical support personnel
