Vascular Biology Faculty
The faculty for this training program are listed below according to four areas of research. These four research areas have been recognized as areas of concentration and intellectual excellence here at UCLA. Trainees working with these faculty are not limited to these thematic groups nor are trainees limited to these faculty. The training program is dynamic and benefits from the incorporation of additional members. Thus, potential faculty are urged to contact the Training Program Director.
