Cardiovascular Research

The cardiovascular research group is active in the twin research fields of vascular biology and myocardial cell function. These are explored through in vivo models of disease, integrative studies at the organ level, and functional evaluation of cardiovascular cell behaviour. Members of the research group have particular expertise on regulation of subcellular calcium concentrations, structual remodelling, drug-receptor interactions and integrative pharmacology. The research is leading to the identification of novel drug targets, and the evaluation of candidate therapeutic interventions.

The group is actively involved in the Centre of Excellence in Integrative Mammalian Biology which is a partnership between biomedical scientists at the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, funded by the BBSRC, BPS, HEFCE, KTN, MRC and SFC. As part of this collaboration a Cardiovascular Summer School was held in September 2010 and provided advanced training for 15 postgraduate scientists.
