At the Jacobs Institute, we’re reinventing the way vascular disease research, prevention, and treatment has always been done. By breaking down the barriers between experts, doctors, engineers, patients, visionaries, researchers, and donors like you, we harness the power of collaboration to spur otherwise unavailable technology innovation in the treatment of vascular disease and conduct critical clinical education to ensure better patient outcomes for millions of people affected by these vascular and neurological diseases. When the best minds work together, we can inspire a new standard of care for patients by innovating faster and more effectively.

Together, we can significantly reduce the devastating impact of vascular disease, so we can save thousands of individual, invaluable, irreplaceable, human lives.

The JI does this in three key ways:

1. We shorten the time it takes to turn a good idea into a life-saving device through our Idea to Reality (i2R) Center.
2. We empower industry professionals to become better clinical partners by providing experiential learning and training for physicians, industry executives, sales representatives, and engineers.
3. We strengthen the next generation of STEM innovators through education programs for high school and college students that teach them about vascular disease and future careers in healthcare.
