==== 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
