41601 Molecular Cardiology

The mission of the Center for Molecular Cardiology is to combine the best of modern science with a focus on developing innovative, noninvasive treat- ments. We are committed to realizing the full promise of this new era and bringing its potential to the patients who need it as quickly as possible. An important goal of the Center is to combine the efforts of the many excellent scientists and physicians at Columbia University Medical Center. By working together, we can greatly

facilitate the progress toward new treatments and cures for all forms of heart disease. The Center creates interdisciplinary collaborations and encourages a translational research approach that will guide the new drugs that are developed from successful clinical trials. Different perspectives are nec- essary to find solutions to the heart health issues that are of growing concern to Americans today. We are fortunate to have many world-class scientists and clinicians at Columbia who are devoted to ending the suffering and death caused by heart disease. We are grateful for the private support from foundations, individuals and corporations that make many of our research initiatives possible. Through their generosity, we are better able to fulfill our mission and make our results available to the people who need them most. I encourage you to learn more about our work by visiting www.HeartHorizons.info or by calling the Center at 212.305.0270. Thank you. Andrew R.
