Goals of the University of Kentucky Cardiovascular Research Center
- To develop a nationally and internationally recognized center of excellence in cardiovascular research;
- To provide an environment for the development and retention of productive faculty;
- To facilitate the training of students, including postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, medical students and residents; and

The University of Kentucky has developed a strong group of investigators in the area of cardiovascular research. The purpose of the Center is to facilitate the development of these research efforts across the campus. In a collaborative interaction with the Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences, the Cardiovascular Research Center is housed on the 5th floor of the Charles T. Wethington Building. In addition to the faculty that are resident on this floor, there are many labs across the campus that are engaged in cardiovascular research.
