British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence
Advancing personalised healthcare for cardiovascular disease through convergent science
The Imperial BHF Centre of Research Excellence (4) is structured around four main themes:
Theme 1 – Learning from populations
Theme 2 – Learning from heart disease patients
Theme 3 - Learning from resilience
Theme 4 - Learning from remote personal monitoring
The Imperial BHF Centre was established in 2008 and is currently under the co-directorship of Professor Costanza Emanueli and Professor Manuel Mayr. Recently, it has been granted renewed funding by the BHF, receiving the maximum award of £5 million for an additional five years until 2029.
The underlying strategy is to promote and nurture collaboration across Imperial College and its partner NHS Trusts to enhance our understanding of the heterogeneity in cardiovascular disease. Drawing on the internationally recognised strengths of Imperial as a specialised university in science, technology, and medicine, the centre is dedicated to developing practical solutions to address the challenges of cardiovascular health.
