Research is an integral part of the Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute. Our mission is to understand the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease, develop new treatments and cures, and improve quality outcomes.

We bring together researchers, physicians and clinicians to conduct a variety of research activities that range from basic laboratory to clinical research. Our scientific and clinical teams publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals, adding to the body of science of cardiovascular medicine.

Our commitment to research is further enhanced by C5Research -- an academic research organization (ARO) within the Institute that provides clinical trial services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials (or research studies) help us create the medicine of tomorrow. They provide hope through offering testing of new drugs, new surgical techniques or other treatments before they are widely available.

We can help you access hundreds of clinical trials across all specialty areas. Our new searchable online trials tool makes identifying treatment opportunities easier than ever.
