Will define new approaches to treat neurological and cardiovascular disease

The Center for Molecular Medicine’s mission is to better understand the molecular and cellular basis of human disease and to use this information to guide the development of new diagnostics, therapies, and cures.

Research areas include:

  • Use of stem cells in cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic disease
  • Human disease modeling with human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
  • Drug discovery
  • Tissue engineering
  • Parasite Virulence
  • Computational systems biology tools
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Next-generation bio manufacturing platforms
