AortaCore-Aortic Imaging LabDr. Jon Matsumura's Aortic Imaging Lab performs an independent analysis of radiographic imaging involving different pathophysiology of the aorta including aneurysms, dissections, and traumatic aortic injury. Currently AortaCore provides pre and post-operative image interpretation and analysis for multi-center, prospective clinical research trials determing the safety and efficacy of medical treatments for aortic aneurysm and endovascular repair of aortic dissection, descending thoracic aortic aneurysms, and traumatic transections. AortaCore uses advance technology to provide objective processing of imaging data received as part of these clinical research trials. AortaCore provides protocol-defined image processing. Specifically we assess images for change in aortic anatomy as a result of treatment, device performance, and measuring parameters such as diameter and volume. Dr. Matsumura is also currently involved in multiple ongoing clinical trials involving treatment of patients with vascular diseases. His clinical area of expertise involves advanced percutaneous endovascular interventions for carotid stenosis, aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, and peripheral artery disease. |

Cardiothoracic Core LabThe mission of the Cardiothoracic Core Laboratory is to provide innovative, state-of-the-art, affordable models of intravital microscopy to UW and non-UW researchers. While the central focus of the laboratory is cardiovascular research, the models employed are also useful to investigators in other fields. One of the most popular services provided by the lab is evaluation of the angiogenesis in an in vivo mouse model. |

Dr. Thibeault's LabThe Thibeault lab's translational research investigates molecular and genetic factors that are the basis of normal vocal fold tissue and its vibration. Dr Thibeault studies vocal fold injury and wound healing as a disordered model. Specifically, Dr Thibeault's lab has two main areas of study -- tissue engineering of the vocal fold lamina propria and laryngeal immunology. The lab has developed unique primary and immortalized human cell lines, in addition to vibrational bioreactors to aid in the research pursuit. |

UW Colon and Rectal Surgery LabThe mission of the UW Colon and Rectal Surgery Laboratory is two fold. First we hope to contribute positively to the understanding of the etiology of colon and rectal cancer. We hope that these contributions will utlimately lead to not only a better understanding of behaviors that modify risk for cancer, but also to novel therapies that will ultimately improve outcomes. Second, we strive to provide an outstanding training environment in which we will train the next generation of both surgeons and scientists. |
