Advancing the Scope of
Atherosclerosis Research with
The Cryptic Masons Chair in 

Vascular Biology Research


Because......

  • heart disease is the number one killer in the United States....
  • you know someone who's had a heart attack or a stroke....
  • you are committed to improving medicine for future generations....


And because you care......

the search for a cure is expanding.  Atherosclerosis is a vascular dysfunction related to other vascular diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.  Recognizing these links, the Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation is expanding its scope of support to fund research in vascular biology, enabling scientific researchers to:

  • unite in their exploration of vascular problems, and
  • increase the likelihood of finding a cure for atherosclerosis.

 

Because endowments keep on giving......

To fund research in vascular biology, the Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation has pledged $1 million to establish an endowed chair in vascular biology at Indiana University School of Medicine.  An endowed chair is the highest academic honor a faculty member can receive. 

The endowed chair holder will be known as the Cryptic Masons Professor of Vascular Biology Research,
