Research Innovation Fund
The Texas Heart Institute Research Innovation Fund was established with the same pioneering spirit on which Dr. Denton A. Cooley founded the Institute in 1962. The Fund will propel the next generation of cardiovascular research at The Texas Heart Institute by sparking discovery, supporting innovation, and recognizing excellence in high-risk, high-reward scientific exploration.
The Fund will support novel translational research and programs that integrate discovery science, personalized medicine, patient- and population-based research into a multidisciplinary framework to improve global health. Areas of focus include:
- Global Leadership in Adult Stem Cell Research
- Unrivaled Experience with Mechanical Assist Devices
- Understanding the Biomolecular Mechanisms for Cardiovascular Disease
- Electrophysiology—The Power Grid of the Heart
- Leading Regenerative Medicine Research
- Breaking Down Gender Gaps in Cardiovascular Medicine
