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,
