Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute Opens
The University of Rochester Medical
Center recently announced the opening
of the Aab Cardiovascular Research
Institute in Henrietta, N.Y., a Rochester
suburb. The institute will soon be one
of the largest centers for heart research
in the United States. More than 100
scientists, students, technicians, and
support personnel, currently housed
across the Medical Center's campus, will
be brought together under one roof.
The 15 independent cardiology
research laboratories moving to the
new institute are conducting more than
50 research projects on heart disease.
The institute is named in honor of
Richard T. Aab in appreciation of his $5
million gift. Aab, a University trustee,
is a longtime supporter of, and board
member for, the University of Rochester
Medical Center.
