Cardiovascular Research Core, UIC

Cardiovascular Research Core (CVRC) at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) has performed preclinical imaging and disease models for over 20 years. CVRC conducts GLP studies in zebrafish, rodents, swine and other species. We conduct efficacy and mechanism studies in many preclinical models or procedures including pulmonary hypertension, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, transverse aortic constriction, thrombosis, ischemia reperfusion, pneumonectomy, lung injury / fibrosis, sepsis, sickle cell disease, atherosclerosis, reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP), bone marrow transplant, bariatric surgery, exercise, swine models of heart failure, sepsis, and diabetes.
We provide training, project consulting, and preclinical testing solutions to ensure high-quality, reproducible results.
