Dr. Rabinovitch receives research award from the Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund (CMREF)
Rabinovitch LabDr. Marlene Rabinovitch has received a five year award from the Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund (CMREF). Dr. Rabinovitch and the Wall Center Team, in collaboration with UCSF and the University of Toronto, will serve as a transplant and preparation center studying the lungs from patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH) as well as secondary forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension and control patients without pulmonary hypertension. To learn more about Dr. Rabinovitch’s research click here.
The Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund was created as a non-profit fund operated solely for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. The CMREF mission is the support of research to uncover the etiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH, or PPH), in pursuit of the ultimate goal of its treatment and cure. The immediate objectives are a) to define the cellular basis of IPAH through the study of affected lung tissue, b) to describe the molecular pathways involved in the disease, and c) to identify genetic associations with the IPAH clinical phenotype.
