President’s Letter

 

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide despite
countless efforts from scientists, clinicians, and advocates. A more comprehensive and integrated
approach is urgently needed to tackle this devastating disease.

The mission of the Academy of Cardiovascular Research Excellence (ACRE) is to promote the
excellence and advancement of cardiovascular research and education and to facilitate academic
exchanges and scientific interactions among its members. In line with this mission, I am pleased
to announce the restructuring of ACRE into two councils, the Cardiac Council and the Vascular
Council. This reorganization aims to highlight and integrate two critical aspects of cardiovascular
research, thereby enhancing the quality of basic, translational, and clinical investigations.

We invite all vascular biology researchers to join the ACRE Vascular Council, collaborate with
the Cardiac Council, and build a more cohesive and productive future for cardiovascular
research.

 

Sincerely,

 

Xuejun “XJ” Wang, MD, PhD
