Center for Vascular Research
Institute for Basic Science at the KAIST Campus
Our Activities
Our vision is to make ground-breaking discoveries, conceptual advances and paradigm shifts in vascular biology through basic and fundamental research
Explore organotypic EC heterogeneity, angiogenesis, vascular remodeling and vascular niche
Identify novel key regulators and clarify their mechanisms in the interaction between endothelial cells and pericytes
Explore organotypic lymphangiogenesis, lymphatic remodeling and regression and lymphatic functions
Identify cardioblasts and clarify their characteristics and effective applications for cardiac regeneration
Undertake creative approaches and develop innovative methods for angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular remodeling, and cardiogenesis
