A theme within the Institute for Health and Welfare Research.

Our aim is to better understand the pathology of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases at the cellular level, and develop new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that will be translated into clinical practice.

The group include researchers with a widespread expertise spanning from immunology, molecular biology, nutrition, organic and medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, physiology, clinical biochemistry, and pharmacy practice.

• Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes
• Ischaemic heart disease
• Obesity and co-morbidities - incorporating the
  Centre for Obesity Research & Epidemiology (CORE)
• Nephropathic cystinosis
• Drug discovery, formulation and delivery

The cross disciplinary nature of the group spans the areas of basic science, clinical and practice based research. Our outcomes are readily transferable into treatment and prevention strategies at patient level.
