Overview

Programme description

The Cardiovascular Sciences programme at The University of Manchester 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.

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;

Programme Structure

Our research spans five main themes:
