Clinical Research
We study diagnostic tests and treatments to determine which are best and safest for patients.
Epidemiology
We study risk factors for developing vascular disease, including genes, biomarkers, and lifestyle factors.
Translational
We use modern “omic” technologies to study the changes in metabolites, proteins and imaging measures that occur when someone develops a pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
