Specialized Center for Clinically-Oriented Research in Aortic Diseases. We are actively involved in the NIH-funded specialized center grant (SCCOR) in collaboration with Dr. Dianna Milewicz in the Department of Medicine. Drs. Safi and Estrera are co-investigators on the main clinical project, and Dr. Miller is Principal Investigator of the Biostatistics core. This project has total direct costs of approximately $6 million and is already producing major findings such as those reported recently in Nature Genetics.
