They have been and currently are funded to do such research by grants from the U.S. National Institute of Heart, Lung and Blood, the American Heart Foundation, companies and private foundations. Dr. Watson has edited 62 scientific books, including several dealing with heart disease and conditions such as aging and AIDS that promote immune dysfunction as well as heart disease.
