About this Study Course
Our Cardiovascular Sciences PhD/MSc by Research at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the cutting-edge research landscape of cardiovascular medicine. As cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, our program immerses you in research that spans world-leading discovery science, translational and clinical research. You will join a vibrant community of researchers dedicated to understanding the complexities of heart diseases, thrombosis, vascular biology, and advanced imaging technologies, all aimed at innovating treatments and improving patient outcomes.
Overview
At the forefront of cardiovascular research, we leverage advanced technology to support groundbreaking discoveries across four main themes. In Cardiac Diseases, we explore the intricate relationships between genetics, environment, lifestyle, and heart function. Our Thrombosis and Haemostasis research pioneers new therapeutic interventions, while our Vascular Biology, Inflammation, and Angiogenesis team delves into the multifaceted biology of endothelial cells. Our Imaging and Technology experts innovate novel ways to visualize cardiovascular systems both in vitro and in vivo.
You’ll work alongside a diverse, multidisciplinary team of world-renowned researchers, producing original and impactful research that addresses the causes, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. This programme provides comprehensive training in high-quality research, enabling you to conduct independent investigative research and make significant contributions to combating the world’s biggest killer.
