Research Colloquiums (Journal Clubs)
The UW Cardiovascular Research Center hosts four monthly journal clubs:
- Heart Failure/Cardioregenerative Medicine
- Arrhythmias/Ion Channel Research
- Atherosclerosis/Vascular Biology
- Cellular and Molecular Arrhythmia Research Program (CMARP)
These journal clubs serve as a cornerstone of the training environment, providing a forum for scientific debate, reinforcing responsible and reproducible research practices, and fostering collegiality and collaboration within the CVRC.

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Science Seminar Series
The CVRC hosts a monthly conference featuring international and UW–Madison speakers, showcasing advances in focus areas and technologies such as proteomics, genomics, computational biology, spectroscopy, and cryo-EM.
For T32 trainees:
Trainees in the UW Training Program in Translational Cardiovascular Science (T32) are also required to attend and join a small-group lunch with the speaker, creating valuable opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and career development. A longstanding program highlight, the series is informal and well attended, fostering lively discussion and networking through pre- and post-seminar receptions.
Held each fall, the CVRC's annual Cardiovascular Research Summit brings world-class cardiovascular researchers to Madison to address emerging topics and technologies in translational cardiovascular science.
