Cardiovascular Projects

Module code: MB7059

One of the most valued features of this course is opportunity for you to undertake two separate research projects of approximately 11 weeks duration. During this time you will work as a member of a dedicated research team, designing and conducting your own research, culminating in the production of a dissertation. You will choose your laboratory research placement from projects covering a broad range of disciplines and techniques.

Recent research project titles offered include:

• Mechanisms underlying lethal arrhythmias in heart failure
• Cell signalling pathways in cardio-protection by beta-blockers
• Structural investigation of hedgehog interacting protein like 1
• Mechanisms of exercise-induced cardiovascular remodelling in haemodialysis patients: the role of microRNAs
• Subcomponent analysis on the effects of healthy ageing on neurovascular coupling under different physiological conditions
• Assessment of myocardial strain with MRI
