Current PhD Projects
ACDC provides an exciting and engaging training environment for all our PhD students. By providing the best support, facilities and opportunities, we help the next generation of cardiovascular and metabolic scientists fulfill their potential and maximise the impact of their research. Below we have highlighted some ongoing PhD projects to raise awareness of the importance of research into cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
- High blood pressure is called Hypertension - the biggest single risk factor for cardiovascular, stroke and kidney disease.
- Heart valves open and close to control the flow of blood through our hearts
