• Heart transplants
• Pulmonary hypertenstion
• Cardiac mechanics

Find out more about the Cardiac Physiology and Transplantation Division, made up of four groups that take diverse and complementary approaches to heart disease, heart failure and transplantation.

• Embryonic development
• Cardiac stem cells
• Cardiac regeneration techniques

Find out more about the Developmental and Stem Cell Biology Division, made up of three groups that aim to understand how genes function and work together to affect animal and organ development. These groups also work to unlock the mysteries of stem cells, and explore possibilities for stem cell and regenerative therapies.

• Inherited heart diseases
• Cardiac Electrophysiology
• Cardiac receptors and mechanobiology

Find out more about the Molecular Cardiology and Biophysics Division, made up of four laboratories that aim to understand the molecular and electrical signalling pathways that operate within the heart, and the basis of inherited heart disease.

• Atherosclerosis
• Heart attack, Stroke
• Vascular health and disease

Find out more about the research carried out in the Vascular Biology Division, which aims to understand the process called atherosclerosis or the hardening of blood vessels.

• X-ray crystallography
• Deep sequencing and bisulfite sequencing
• Nanotechnology
