Throwing back to a fun lab gathering at Juame’s wedding! He is starting a new adventure and we will always miss him!
Exciting News!!!
Dr. Nguyen will be the director of Cardiovascular Innovation Research Center (CIRC) in Cleveland Clinic! The laboratory will move to Cleveland at the end of May 2022. Stay tuned for more information from us!
Research
The CBI lab focuses on the development and clinical application of novel imaging techniques to evaluate the cardiovascular system including MRI, optical, and PET.
The ultimate goal of our research is to empower scientists and clinicians with novel imaging technologies to answer fundamental questions in cardiovascular biology and pathophysiology.
Our lab straddles both the MGH Cardiovascular Research Center and MGH/HST Martinos Center for Biomedical at the MGH Charlestown Navy Yard Campus. Feel free to visit us!
Congrats to Salva Yurista! His Review Article Made Cell's Cover!
