THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL RESEARCH IS RELEVANT TO EVERY HUMAN BEING...

The Masonic Medical Research Laboratory (MMRL) is international in scope and benefit. Its significance goes beyond state, national or international borders. Truth be told, medical research saves lives and few missions have such global impact on the improvement of our human condition. Biomedical research is a key force for change in the world today, with important economic and social implications that will affect our children, grandchildren and future generations.

For its size, there are few laboratories worldwide whose cutting edge research is as productive and influential in the field of experimental cardiology. Today, the MMRL is rapidly becoming an international center for genetic screening of cardiac diseases, especially those involving cardiac arrhythmias. The MMRL is the leading center for the study of the genetic basis for Brugada syndrome and is leading the way in the development novel treatments for this syndrome. The MMRL is also blazing new trails in the development of innovative and effective pharmacologic treatment for Atrial Fibrillation, one of the greatest unmet medical needs in our society today.
