Our mission is to lay the groundwork for a new era of discovery, enabling medical students and cardiovascular researchers to transform our understanding of coronary artery disease, the world’s foremost cause of mortality.

My story with coronary artery disease began long ago, as I watched my father press his hands tightly against his chest from time to time, so hard that his fingers seemed to dig into his ribs.
Then one morning, I woke to find him collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath in broken intervals. I rushed to apply what we had learned in medical school, performing chest compressions again and again, only to realize later that nothing can outrun death.
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of sudden death worldwide. I believe we can better understand it, and better treat the disease progression, and complications with advanced research.
