Ramanathan (ram) Kadirvel

The research program of Ramanathan (Ram) Kadirvel, Ph.D., is focused on the study of cerebral saccular aneurysms. Dr. Kadirvel's research group has strong collaborations with interventional radiologists, vascular biologists, biochemists, and biomedical and mechanical engineers at Mayo Clinic and other leading institutions. This multidisciplinary approach permits them to study — in a rabbit model of saccular aneurysms — aneurysmal biological changes in concert with the alteration of hemodynamic factors in different spatial locations.
