“Our goal is to create an interdisciplinary facility that encourages the exchange of new ideas to drive the development of cardiovascular advancements and devices,” says Dr. Steven C. George, who is spearheading the center’s development. “The Edwards Lifesciences Center will thoroughly examine the integration of numerous disciplines, creating the potential to develop implantable devices for treating cardiovascular disease.” Directed by BME, the center will examine the integration of numerous disciplines, including materials science, computer science, advanced imaging, and the manufacturing of devices with precision at levels much smaller than a millimeter. “Edwards Lifesciences is an international leader in cardio-vascular technology, and we are pleased to collaborate with them in developing a center that combines exceptional faculty, resources and tools to advance this evolving field,” said Dean Nicolaos G. Alexopoulos. “UC Irvine is uniquely positioned to address this critical health care area and initiate a world-class center.” |
