Welcome to the CFM laboratory at Georgia Tech

The Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics (CFM) Research Group at Georgia Tech has been one of the pioneering laboratories in the world studying the function and mechanics of heart valves and other complex cardiac defects. Established in 1979 by Dr. Ajit Yoganathan in the Chemical Engineering Department at Georgia Tech, the CFM laboratory is now located in the Parket H. Petit Institute of Bioengineering and Bioscience.
