Network-based predictive modelling of cardiovascular disease risk

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is orchestrated by multiple factors. QRISK models (currently QRISK3) have been used in the UK to estimate CVD risk within the next 10 years for individuals without CVD. Read more

Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

University of Worcester Research School

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more

The effect of early-life stress on cardiac function in later life

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Stressful experiences in early childhood can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. How early-life stress (ELS) influences susceptibility to CVD onset remains largely unknown. Read more
