Welcome

Mission of the Stanford Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab

  • Develop theoretical, computational, and experimental technology to quantify anatomic structure and physiologic response of the human vascular system under normal, diseased, and surgically-altered states.
  • Implement methods for improving vascular disease diagnosis, surgical planning, and prosthesis design.
  • Create transferable technology for use by medical professionals and disseminate results to scientific and medical communities.

Focus of Research in the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab

  • Hemodynamics and Vascular Mechanics
  • Computer Aided Medical Planning
  • Device Design and Evaluation
