Pursuing a research degree in the Faculty of Biological Sciences allows you to cultivate expertise as an autonomous investigator in your selected discipline. Guided by your principal supervisor and additional co-supervisors, you'll engage in pioneering research addressing specific biological challenges while joining a vibrant academic community employing cross-disciplinary methods to solve contemporary scientific problems. During your doctoral studies, you'll not only deepen your subject-specific expertise but also enhance professional capabilities through structured training initiatives, seminar participation, and conference engagements.
The Cardiovascular research unit operates within the broader Cardiovascular and Sport and Exercise Sciences division. Our investigations, organized around six thematic areas, concentrate on cardiac physiology in both normal and pathological states, with parallel studies in skeletal muscle biology. Employing techniques ranging from molecular analysis to whole-organ physiology, supplemented by computational modeling across multiple scales, we conduct internationally recognized research with clinical applications.
