Welcome to The Cardiovascular Simulations Laboratory.  The people in the CSL study the relationships between the dynamics of arterial blood flow and vessel pathology, the mechanisms of tissue response to mechanical stress, and the dynamic geometry of coronary arteries. We use a variety of techniques and disciplines, including mathematical modeling, solid modeling and computational fluid dynamics, clinical cineangiography and intravascular ultrasound, animal experimentation, tissue and image processing, and molecular biology. Our work is supported primarily by grants from the National Institutes of Health and several Fellowships. We work with other laboratories around the university and colleagues at other institutions as well. If you are interested in finding out more about what we do, and what we're going to do, please click on Research.

Both faculty and students work in or with the CSL. Click on People to find out who we are and to see a group photograph.
