Mississippi Center for Heart Research

Co-Directed by Drs. Michael Hall, Yingjie Chen, and Dr. Ji Li, the Mississippi Center for Heart Research is dedicated to performing cardiovascular research that involves:

• Developing multidimensional approaches to examine the mechanisms whereby the cardiovascular system responds to injury or stress;
• Applying the knowledge gained to develop diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies to prevent, slow, or reverse cardiovascular disease progression;
• Disseminating our results to scientific, medical and general communities; and
• Educating the next generation of scientists.

The Mississippi Center for Heart Research meets on the 3rd Monday of the month to discuss ongoing projects and plan future experiments. If you are interested in attending these heart research focus group sessions, email Courtney Graham
