Summary
Our PhD/MPhil Cardiovascular Sciences programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Cardiovascular Sciences.
Cardiovascular diseases are major causes of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countries worldwide.
Our research spans five main themes:
-
cardiovascular genetics and development;
-
experimental cardiology;
-
vascular biology/hypertension;
-
stroke;
-
clinical cardiovascular research;
We adopt an integrated 'bench-to-bedside' translational approach for understanding the underlying mechanisms responsible for the functioning of the cardiovascular system in both health and disease.
To this end, there is a wide spectrum of research spanning clinical trials, small and large animal models of cardiovascular diseases, whole organs and tissues, cells and single molecule studies. Working together in purpose-built facilities provides for a stimulating and cutting-edge environment.
Examples of research programmes include:
-
cardiac and vascular electrophysiology;
-
cardiac conduction system;
-
calcium and second messenger signalling in the heart and vasculature;
-
heart failure and arrhythmias;
-
hypertrophic signalling pathways in the heart;
-
cardiovascular genetics and development;
-
cellular and protein structure;
-
comparative biology and mitochondrial function;
-
computer modelling;
-
hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes research;
-
vascular biology of small and large arteries;
-
angiogenesis and endothelial biology;
-
stroke;
-
cardiovascular imaging;
-
induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) models of cardiovascular disease;
-
cardiac and vascular regeneration;
-
renal physiology and genetics;
-
renal medicine;
