Atrial Fibrillation Innovation Center
The Atrial Fibrillation Innovation Center (AFIC) is now operating under the GCIC umbrella – continuing, in partnership with GCIC, the battle against atrial
fibrillation.
AFIC, another Ohio Third Frontier-funded Wright Center of Innovation, pursues its multidisciplinary assault on atrial fibrillation – a common,
debilitating heart rhythm condition – through a distinguished team of accomplished laboratory and clinical researchers at Ohio’s leading academic
research institutions. In collaboration with corporate partners, AFIC is making significant progress in developing new diagnostic and therapeutic options
for the management of atrial fibrillation.
AFIC’s merger under GCIC ensures that current projects will continue while new atrial fibrillation-related projects are brought on board with GCIC
support. It also provides GCIC companies with access to AFIC’s outstanding research capabilities and state-of-the-art preclinical facility.
The medical implications of AFIC’s work extend worldwide, and the center has pioneered new approaches to clinical care. Closer to home, AFIC is
contributing to Ohio’s economic development goals by making an impact on company and product formation, job creation and economic growth.
