Centre for Cardiovascular Research

A collective term for diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Commonly including diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke. We still have much to learn with cardiovascular research to solve the world’s biggest killer.

About the centre

The focus of the Centre for Cardiovascular Research is to translate precision medicine to improve the care of families with inherited heart disease and sudden death and optimize cardiac screening of athletes.

Laboratories

The laboratories operating within this centre are:

  • Bagnall

    Our ability to read DNA sequence has far exceeded our ability to identify genetic variants which cause inherited diseases. To address this shortcoming, the Bioinformatics and Molecular Genetics Group develop new computer-based approaches and laboratory-based methods to identify and characterise disease-causing genetic variants, with a current focus on inherited heart diseases and sudden cardiac death in young people.
  • Qi

    Our research is focused on the lipid metabolic causes of chronic human diseases, including diabetes, fatty liver, cancer and atherosclerosis.
