Institute for Cardiovascular Disease Research

Goals and Progress

The institute has devised overarching objectives and year-by-year goals to guide and measure the progress of its research projects and overall vision.

The Institute's Research Goals

Research Terminology:
Understand how inflammasome activation participates in the pathogenesis of neurogenic hypertension due to chronic unpredictable stress.

Research Terminology:
Evaluate the role of sex differences in inflammasome activation in relation to neurogenic hypertension.

Research Terminology: 
Initiate an understanding of possible therapeutic approaches targeting NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes.

Year-by-Year Goals and Outcomes

The Institute for Cardiovascular Disease Research has outlined the following yearly research goals for the first four years of the institute's trajectory.

Demonstrate activation of the NLRP3/profibrotic pathway, including measurements of TGF activation, collagen expression and content

Establish final osmotic pump delivery protocols

Continue the themes of years one and two with goals to be detailed as research progresses
