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.
