Mission Statement
The Mission of ISCTR is to provide an environment for collaboration and guidance among basic and clinical scientists, expedite scientific discoveries into clinical application, disseminate the science among the scientific community, promote research, development of guidelines for training and certification in Translational Research, influence health care policy, educate the public, and improve the well being of patients. In our initial five years of operation we have held five annual symposiums with presentations from world class experts, launched a new journal (Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research), and involved numerous elected, public and private sector leaders and advanced public policy and regulatory issues.
