UCAP: Goals
Goals:
- Develop chronic large animal models of atrial fibrillation
- Study the progression and pathophysiology of the disease, using advanced imaging and electrophysiology mapping approaches
- Develop tests for risk factors for atrial fibrillation including genetic polymorphisms
- Test novel therapeutic strategies including pharmacological, device based, stem cell and gene therapies
Commercial Opportunities:
- Fill demand for large animal atrial fibrillation models
- Develop better imaging and diagnostic modalities
- Develop new diagnostic tests, molecular or serum chemistry
- Develop new device or drug therapies
- Develop stem cell and/or gene therapy treatments
