Research Priorities & Collaboration

The California State University Northridge team will identify key gaps in congenital heart disease research that have contributed to lingering mortality rates in the aging congenital heart disease (CHD) population. CSUN research will also provide guidance on how best to address health disparities in cardiometabolic and behavioral health of CHD patients at multiple stages in life. Addressing these challenges, includes a plan to recruit, retain, and train a diverse population of undergraduate and graduate students in the technical skills of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning research methods with the goal of decreasing health disparities.
