The University of Florida Health Science Center – Jacksonville's campus provides multispecialty research programs that offer patients the latest in diagnostic and treatment modalities that are cutting edge in basic science, thrombosis and clinical research. The Cardiovascular Research Program within the division of cardiology is comprised of a group of dedicated healthcare professionals whose main goal is to provide higher quality patient care.

Investigator-initiated research is conducted through various stages of development from pre-clinical to post marketing. This research helps determine whether current and or new drugs as well as devices are both safe and effective. Together our team of investigators lead the way for higher quality patient care as they strive to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in our society.

The University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville's division of cardiology is committed to fostering faculty and fellow research. The division's research can be broken down into two categories- clinical and thrombosis research.

Our clinical research includes sponsored and faculty initiated clinical trials. UF physicians are currently involved in the development of new treatment modalities for heart failure and novel electrophysiology techniques, as well as intramyocardial delivery of stem cell therapy. Our thrombosis research is focused in the areas of platelet function, genetic testing, inflammation and lipids.
