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.
Refining complex MRI scanning methods for allow for imaging of the heart at a microscopic level, which will enable us to understand how heart cells behave when both healthy and diseased.
Investigating the relationship between the immune system and the build-up of fluid in the body, to understand how heart failure develops in high-risk patients, and to help slow its progression.
Developing a blood test for the detection of congenital heart disease during pregnancy, to both enable earlier and more sensitive diagnosis, and improve understanding of why these conditions develop.
Analysing immune samples from diseased aortic valves, to understand what causes T-cell accumulation and inflammation in aortic stenosis patients, to identify new treatment targets for the condition.
Investigating the role of obesity and sex in heart attack recovery, by analysing the fat around the heart in different patient models, to provide new insights into treatment options.
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.
