Saint Joseph's Translational Research Institute

Saint Joseph's Translational Research Institute (SJTRI) was a prominent non-profit research organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in cardiovascular medicine and medical device evaluation. The institute provided comprehensive preclinical and clinical research services, bridging the gap between laboratory discovery and bedside application. SJTRI was particularly renowned for its expertise in interventional cardiology, regenerative medicine, and the testing of novel stents and drug-delivery systems. Following the partnership between Saint Joseph’s Health System and Emory Healthcare in 2011, the institute's operations were largely integrated into the Emory University School of Medicine's research infrastructure. The institute played a pivotal role in the regulatory approval of several landmark cardiovascular technologies.
