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.
You may be particularly interested to know that for its size, there is no other
laboratory 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 also leading the way in the development of innovative
and effective pharmacologic treatment for Atrial Fibrillation, one of the greatest
unmet medical needs in our society today.
