The Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine’s and University Hospital's Blood, Heart, Lung, and Immunology Research Center builds upon work from the Cardiovascular Research Institute and aims to develop, nurture and harness interdisciplinary teams of researchers to expand understanding of a myriad of diseases including, but not limited to, coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, sepsis, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, ARDS, pulmonary hypertension, heart disease, COPD, asthma, and immunotherapeutics.
Our scientists focus on key challenges and gaps in knowledge that exist across disciplines in vascular, immune (neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, dendritic cells), hemostasis and coagulation, red blood cell metabolism, and many others, to further elucidate key molecular and signaling pathways that allow for novel mechanistic approaches to disease and treatment.
Interdisciplinary Team Approach
We intend to lead to new collaborations between laboratory bench scientists and scientists working in clinical research, artificial intelligence, implementation science, bioinformatics, social determinants of health, and technology development.
