This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $564,650 to the University of Louisville to expand its Physiology Core through the acquisition of a Visualsonics Vevo F2 preclinical ultrasound system. The new instrumentation will address the growing demand for ultrasound imaging among over 30 investigators across five NIH-funded research centers focused on cardiovascular health, cancer, hepatic and metabolic disease, and other critical biomedical research areas. The new Vevo F2 system will not only increase the core's capacity to meet user needs, but also enable the development of advanced integrated physiology approaches, such as cardiac pacing stress echocardiography and myocardial contrast echocardiography, to support the university's diverse research portfolio valued at over $18 million. This award, with a performance period from May 2025 to April 2026, will strengthen the university's ability to provide cutting-edge ultrasound imaging capabilities to drive innovative biomedical discoveries.
