Conrad Jobst Vascular Research Laboratories

Advancing Vascular Surgery Research

The Conrad Jobst Vascular Research Laboratories on the campus of the University of Michigan are state-of-the-art research facilities in the North Campus Research Complex. There are a number of core units that make-up the laboratories including a molecular, hematology and cell biology unit, and a small animal operating facility. The major topics of research include venous thrombosis, vascular inflammation, thrombus resolution, traumatic injury, nephropathy, abdominal aneurysms, and medical device testing. In addition to conducting research, the Jobst Laboratories aims to train the academic vascular surgeons of the future. The laboratories are supported by the Jobst Foundation in memory of Dr. Conrad Jobst.
