Welcome to the kheradvar research group
At KLAB, we focus on solving complex cardiovascular problems using engineering fundamentals and clinical sciences.
Founded by Dr. Arash Kheradvar in 2007, KLAB integrates engineering fundamentals with clinical science to tackle complex cardiovascular problems. The lab is currently a member of UC Irvine’s Department of Radiological Sciences and Department of Biomedical Engineering. Our research spans Heart Valve Engineering, Cardiovascular Imaging, and Cardiac Mechanics, operating at the intersection of imaging, engineering, clinical cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and developmental biology. We translate discovery into practice by addressing unmet clinical needs—developing better diagnostics and more effective therapies for congenital and structural heart disease to improve patient outcomes.
