Supported by four clinical research coordinators, the division's clinical research program conducts multiple investigations in such areas as endovascular therapy for thoracic and abdominal aneurysms, new minimally invasive strategies for treatment of arterial and venous disease including carotid angioplasty and stenting, and the assessment of new drug therapies for all forms of vascular disease.

The basic science research program has received over 14 million dollars of funding from the NIH over the past 10 years. Other sponsors include the NSF and the JDRF. The program is integrated with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at both Georgia Tech and Emory and the Department of Chemistry at Emory University. Projects are ongoing in the areas of reparative medicine, organ fabrication, and the design of engineered living systems. For detailed information about the program, visit the lab's official website.
