BHF 4-year PhD in Cardiovascular Research (prevention)

Aims to train the next generation of researchers to develop innovative approaches for preventing cardiovascular diseases before they develop - one of the most effective ways to improve health. However, doing this requires new approaches that combine insights from biology, population health and data science.

This PhD programme will equip researchers to work at the intersection of: population health, systems biology and artificial intelligence & data science.

The programme brings together leading scientists from several universities and industry.
