Cardiovascular Pharmacology
This is a multidisciplinary track that is designed to provide pre-doctoral trainees with the knowledge base, technical abilities, problem solving skills and research experience necessary for career paths involving cutting-edge research in the cardiovascular sciences. Research opportunities include gene regulation in heart development, differentiation and disease, transcriptional and translational regulation of cardiovascular function and metabolism, regulation of muscle contraction and protein turnover, and signal transduction pathways in heart development and disease. A number of advanced courses are offered, including an advanced course in the cardiovascular system and integrative biology of the cardiovascular system.
