Research & Impact

Our research

Our research activities are focused on two thematic areas, namely cardiac biomedicine and vascular biomedicine. There is a major focus on cellular and molecular signalling, which cuts across and integrates these two themes.

Our focus is the mechanisms and treatment of cardiovascular disease, with a mission to: 

Pursue internationally leading laboratory-to-bedside research programmes that address fundamental molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal cardiovascular function. 
Link these to translational research that improves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human cardiovascular disease. 
Undertake high quality research training for non-clinical and clinical scientists.
