My general experience has been great; the educating has been great, I'm enamored with the city, and the college itself is superb. It's been exceptionally simple to settle into living here on the grounds that everything is so open

Cardiovascular disease is projected to remain the single leading cause of death over the next two decades, accountable for considerable disability and reduction in the quality of life, therefore research is vital to advance its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences (ICAMS) is a successful and vibrant Research Institute with outstanding training and learning opportunities. Our purpose-built British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cardiovascular Research Centrehouses state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities and we are one of only six BHF Centres of Excellence in the UK. Our research strengths have been integrated into substantial, well-resourced thematic programmes that build on the strengths of individual, clinical and non-clinical principal investigators. Working in basic, translational and clinical research, our strength is in elucidating mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, identifying biomarkers of disease, identifying therapeutic targets and developing and designing novel therapeutic strategies that will lead to clinical trials.

Course programme
PhD programmes in the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences (ICAMS) last 3-4 years, with individual research projects tailored around the expertise of principal investigators within the Institutes. Basic and clinical projects are available for study. A variety of approaches are used, including molecular biology, biochemistry, epidemiology, mathematical modelling, bioinformatics, genetics, cell biology (including advanced in vitro and in vivo imaging), immunology and polyomics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc).
Specific areas of interest include:
- Vascular science and medicine
- Cardiovascular biology and cell signalling
- Cardiovascular gene therapy for the treatment of vascular disease
- Basic and clinical cerebrovascular disease e.g stroke
- Stem cell therapies for Cerebrovascular disease
- Genetics, genomics and systems medicine
- Adrenal Corticosteroids in cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes , obesity, metabolic and renal disease
- Cardiovascular imaging
- Cardiovascular clinical trials
- Sport & Exercise Science& Medicine
Additional information
All Postgraduate Research Students are allocated a supervisor who will act as the main source of academic support and research mentoring.You may want to identify a potential supervisor and contact them to discuss your research proposal before you apply.
