Cardiovascular Sciences

We are leaders in cardiovascular research, including atrial fibrillation and heart failure, thrombosis and haemostasis, and vascular biology.

Cardiovascular research areas

  • Cardiac Diseases

    Tracking the blood in the heart using cardiac MRI

    Our research aims to understand how our genes, environment, lifestyle, and activity of the heart interact to shape the function of our hearts.

  • Thrombosis and Haemostasis

    Wound-plugging platelets captured forming inside the bone marrow

    Our expertise means we are ideally placed to develop new strategies for therapeutic intervention in thrombosis and haemostasis driven pathology

  • Vascular Biology and Inflammation

    Developing vessels and macrophages in green supporting vessel development

    Our established multi-disciplinary research theme is focused on the multifaceted biology of endothelial cells.

  • Imaging and Technology

    Our technology experts are developing and applying innovative ways to image cardiovascular systems in vitro and in vivo

Areas of Excellence

  • Centre of Membrane Proteins and Receptors (COMPARE)

    A unique collaboration between the Universities of Birmingham and Nottingham. Bringing together leading researchers to develop novel methods for visualising single membrane proteins.

  • British Heart Foundation Accelerator Award
