Cardiovascular Research Centres in Cambridge

Cambridge Cardiovascular, established in 2013, is an umbrella group covering all cardiovascular and related research in Cambridge. Some of our network members belong to other focused research centres including:

• The British Heart Foundation Cambridge Cardiovascular Centre for Research Excellence (BHF CRE). A virtual Centre to strengthen cardiovascular research and collaboration across disciplines through funding for studentships, fellowships and pilot projects.
• NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) - Cardio-Respiratory Theme. The BRC is a virtual Centre bringing together the expertise and resources of Cambridge University and Cambridge University Hositals NHS Trust to support translational research. The cardio-respiratory theme is led by Prof Martin Bennett together with Dr Mark Toshner and Dr Nicholas Evans.
• The Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute (VPD-HLRI) is a collaborative, physical institute, hosting >450 research staff from seven different University departments and the NHS. It's located next to Royal Papworth Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical.

For key contacts for each Centre 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 VPD-HLRI to expand our research capacity and promote interdisciplinary research. The Cambridge Cardiovascular office is located here.

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.
