The eLab Research Center is an online resource for laboratory investigations in thoracic, cardiac, and vascular surgery. The site is intended to provide a common place for exchanging ideas and information for anyone interested in research. The eLab will stimulate and integrate the multidisciplinary interest in cardiovascular and thoracic research. We hope that eLAB will further enhance comraderie among residents doing cardiothoracic research
