British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence

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.
