Research Expertise at the ICVBM
Based on the apparent expertise groupings and potential for interactions
among the ICVBM investigators, the following categories represent
an initial set of expertises/discussion groups which will function
to identify potentials for collaborative work intended to lead to
submission of jointly conceived proposals. The Pilot project funding
mechanism of the Center is available to fund promising work among
these investigators, as well as other expertise groupings that may
emerge.

Cardiovascular stem and progenitor cell plasticity
Growth factors involved in mediating obesity and diabetes as key cardiovascular risks
