About the School/Department/Institute/Project

William Harvey Heart Centre forms part of the NIHR Barts Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and is specifically designed to provide the cardiovascular research hub for the rebuild of St Bartholomew’s Hospital which opened in 2014. Our ethnically diverse east London community suffer appalling rates of heart disease, possibly due to undiscovered risk factors that may offer the basis for new treatments – we are therefore uniquely placed to act as a research window for these communities from emergent nations across the world.
