UTICA, N.Y. -- It's an investment that could help save lives.
A $10 million project is complete at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica. Renovations on the second and third-floors of the Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica are complete.
The new additions include spaces to focus on molecular biology and genetic work, and a full-barrier small animal vivarium for mice and rats.
It's all to further cardiovascular research and help save lives.
The plan is to do more research on heart failure, diabetes and obesity-related cardiac disease and cardiac inflammation.
