At the Heart Research Institute, our goal is to reduce the number of people who die from heart disease and to offer a better life for those already suffering from the disease by understanding the underlying biological processes.

Each of the various scientific groups at the Heart Research Institute conducts research into a specific aspect of cardiovascular disease.
