About Vascular Cures

Vascular Cures invests in breakthrough treatments for vascular disease. For almost 30 years, Vascular Cures has funded research to transform human health. As an entrepreneurial non-profit, Vascular Cures specifically designs its programs to speed the process of getting results to patients. We've built a unique platform for medical innovation through 15 years of our Wylie Scholar Program, which funds promising surgeon-scientists who bring the challenges of their clinical practice to the process of researching new treatments. In 2000, Vascular Cures founded a multi-disciplinary Laboratory for Accelerated Vascular Research at UCSF that has yielded important results for patients through research in both basic disease biology and medical device technology.
Building on these two flagship programs, in 2010 Vascular Cures launched the Vascular Cures Research Network, a first-of-its-kind national initiative to create powerful individualized treatments and cures. The Vascular Cures Research Network is a consortium of leading vascular specialists sharing research and results to accelerate the development of new drugs and technologies to treat vascular disease.
