CVPath Institute, Inc. is a not-for-profit research and education organization based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, founded in 2005 under the 501(c)(3) framework. The institute conducts basic and translational research aimed at improving cardiovascular patient care by moving findings from the laboratory to clinical settings. It also provides consultation, histology, and diagnostic services and maintains a large collection of diseased human tissue for investigative studies and teaching. Its offerings are geared toward researchers, academic medical centers, and other organizations that need access to tissue resources and translational support to advance cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment. The organization positions itself within the research services industry by combining study support with a curated tissue repository and pathology-related services. A notable development in recent years is a collaboration with Howard University College of Medicine, and with NYU, to collect autopsy specimens to study the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the heart and other organs.
