Cardiovascular Research in Cambridge
We began in 2013, when the University of Cambridge approved a new cross-School activity called Cambridge Cardiovascular Strategic Research Initiative (SRI).
In 2019, Cambridge Cardiovascular became a Interdisciplinary Research Centre (IRC).
Cambridge Cardiovascular acts as an umbrella organisation covering all cardiovascular and related research in Cambridge. Subsets of researchers are members of more focused research centres that are listed below:
- British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cambridge Cardiovascular Centre for Research Excellence
- Cambridge NIHR Biomedical Research Centre - Cardio-Respiratory Theme
For key contacts for these subsets please see our Contact Us Page.
We work closely with clinicians at Addenbrooke's and Royal Papworth hospitals, and with local biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We raised funds to build the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute (VPD-HLRI) to expand our research capacity and this is now our administrative hub.
Our research community is rapidly expanding with the re-location of Papworth Hospital and AstraZeneca global headquarters and R&D facilities to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
