The unique setting of the Cardiovascular Core Analysis Laboratory (CCAL), in both academic and geographic locale, provides access to a talented and diversified group of individuals. Stanford University is home to an innovative Research Center. Founded in 1994, the Stanford Center for Research in Cardiovascular Interventions (CRCI) serves as a strong resource for both scientific and technologic growth in the field of cardiovascular medicine. A year later, expertise was concentrated in a state-of-the-art core laboratory and data management center known as CCAL. CCAL has emerged as a leading laboratory in the conduct of national and international research studies and clinical trials. Within the Stanford University and Silicon Valley communities exists a wealth of access to forward-thinking personnel, including engineers, inventors and world-renowned physicians. These communities receive the highest amount of grant monies per capita than anywhere in the nation. Of all medical device companies in existence, 60% are located in the Silicon Valley and Northern California regions. This area enjoys easy access to countries in the Pacific Rim and in South America, thereby offering a unique international aspect. By leveraging this access accordingly, CCAL can effectively strategize and coordinate a variety of clinically based projects.
