THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL INNOVATIONS INSTITUTE INC

The Institute is a scientific research center dedicated to conducting basic and applied research to advance the understanding of human disease and the improvement of human health. The Institute fosters an innovative research environment with a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to the discovery process - bringing together physical and life science researchers, clinicians, engineers/ and computational scientists to address the significant health care challenges of heart and vascular disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders through a multi-scale understanding of organ systems. Institute researchers have expertise in both experimental and computational disciplines. The former utilizes the experimental reductionist approach to dissect the biological system into its molecular, cellular and tissue components. The latter use a computational integrative approach to synthesize the parts using laws of physics and chemistry to understand the whole organ. The Institutes multi-discipline
