Details of Doris Taylor, Ph.D.

 Education

B.S., Biology, Mississippi University for Women, Columbus, MS, 1977
Ph.D., Pharmacology, Southwestern Medical School, Dallas, TX, 1988

Research Interests

As the Medtronic-Bakken Chair in Cardiac Repair and the Director of the Center for Cardiovascular Repair, Dr. Taylor blends research using stem cells, genes, and devices to develop novel cardiac and vascular technologies--ones to prevent, treat, and hopefully one day, cure heart ailments.  She is involved in both laboratory and clinical studies using cell therapy to treat disease.
