The Carolina Cardiovascular Biology Center, established in 2000, is a multidisciplinary, multidepartmental facility that serves as a focal point for interactions among basic, translational, and clinical scientists studying all aspects of cardiovascular disease. Areas of specific interest include atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases, angiogenesis and cardiovascular development, cardiovascular physiology, and diseases of hemostasis.

The core laboratories of the center are located in over 12,000 square feet of space located at 8200 Medical Biomolecular Research Building, and many center members also have laboratory space in their own departments.

The Carolina Cardiovascular Biology Center is a highly interactive, rapidly growing environment for scientists, trainees, and clinical investigators interested in understanding, treating, and curing cardiovascular diseases, which are the most common cause of death and disability in the United States of America.
