We will not stop until there are no more deaths from heart diseases. To date, we have committed over £34m to fund more than 350 medical research projects across the UK.
Predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death
Investigating the role of the protein BACH1 in preventing blood vessel formation and exploring whether its inhibition can promote new blood vessel growth for patients recovering from a heart attack.
Eliminating “zombie cells” to improve heart health
Making aneurysm repair safer
Exploring how nitric oxide affects how blood vessels respond to changes in pressure, to identify new targets for improving the stability of vein grafts used in coronary artery bypass surgeries.
Pulmonary hypertension in congenital heart disease
Encouraging participation in cardiac rehabilitation
Preventing blood vessel damage from cancer treatment
Translational Research Project Grants aim to bridge the gap between laboratory-based scientific research and patient care.
NET grants are research projects which focus on the development of new and innovative technologies to diagnose, treat and prevent heart diseases.
PhD studentships give exceptional students the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills and expertise needed for a career as a research scientist. Clinical and non-clinical PhD studentships can be applied for.
