At HeartWorks, we believe progress happens when people come together – families, researchers, partners, and communities – all moving toward a shared goal.

The Move with Heart Virtual 5K is more than an event. It’s a reminder that awareness, when powered by people, becomes momentum.

And momentum is what moves the field forward.

HeartWorks is proud to join and .medical for the Move with Heart Virtual 5K – a powerful opportunity to turn awareness into action.

When: Starting April 10 at 10:00 AM
Window: 100 hours to complete your distance
Where: Anywhere

Walk, run, ride – it’s your choice.

Complete it all at once or break it up over time. However you move, you’re helping move this mission forward. This event is designed to meet people where they are – because every step, every mile, and every participant contributes to something bigger.

Why are these frozen at -180°C?

These vials hold cells at different stages - from early cells to future heart cells.

We freeze them so we can:
✔️ test them
✔️ check quality
✔️ make sure they’re ready for what’s next

A small pause that helps ensure everything is done right.

Want a closer look? Our virtual lab tours take you inside the process - from skin biopsy to beating heart cells. You’ll get a real look at the lab, the science, and the people building what’s next.

Progress in CHD therapies hinges on connection. Your role is vital for future discoveries.

The more members, the more knowledge, the more feedback we gather, the more effectively we can plan trials and generate possibilities for CHD patients.

How do we grow enough cells to build heart tissue?

Before we can turn stem cells into heart cells, we need a lot of them… like hundreds of millions.

That’s where this comes in..This is a spinner flask that gently keeps cells moving so they can grow faster and more efficiently. Think of it as creating the right environment for cells to multiply before they’re guided into becoming heart cells.

Step 1: Grow the cells
Step 2: Turn them into heart cells

Did you know?

Your own cells can be turned into powerful stem cells that help scientists study heart disease.

These are called autologous stem cells, and they’re helping unlock new possibilities in regenerative medicine.
