Using machine-learning for personalised risk prediction of heart and circulatory diseaseUniversity of Cambridge | Professor Emanuele Di Angelantonio
Heart and circulatory disease causes more than a quarter of all deaths in the UK. In GP practices around the country, people over the age of 40 have their risk factors measured to estimate how likely they are to develop heart and circulator...

Groundbreaking AI trained on de-identified patient data to predict healthcare needs
In a world-first study, an artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained on a set of NHS data for 57 million people in England, from which personal information has been stripped away. Researchers say the model could transform patient care, identifying opportunities where early interventions might significantly improve or save lives.

Copying a natural repair system to develop new drugs for heart diseaseUniversity of Nottingham | Dr Jeanette Woolard
A molecule called adenosine is released from cells throughout the body to help protect them and repair them when damaged. Scientists hope to develop drugs that mimic how adenosine works to produce similar protective and healing effects. ...

Testing new molecules to develop into drugs for blood vessel diseasesUniversity of Leicester | Professor Nicholas Brindle
Damage to blood vessels can cause a number of serious conditions including coronary heart disease and stroke. The body normally produces a protein called Ang1 that binds to the cells lining our blood vessels to keep them healthy. In several...

Can a ‘virtual’ blood pressure test reveal how narrow the heart’s arteries are?University of Sheffield | Professor Julian Gunn
Coronary artery disease is the build-up of fatty plaques in the vessels supplying blood to the heart. One way to measure the severity of coronary artery disease is to pass a tiny ‘pressure wire’ into the blood vessels of the heart to measur...

Understanding how a protein called CXCL2 promotes the growth of new blood vesselsUniversity of Leeds | Dr Sreenivasan Ponnambalam
Atherosclerosis is the build-up of fatty deposits (plaques) inside the arteries. The blood vessels become narrowed, restricting blood flow to organs and tissues. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of heart attacks and strokes – when the blo...

Quantum dot nanoparticles: a new drug delivery system to prevent blood clotsUniversity of Hull | Dr Graeme Stasiuk
The PhD student supervised by Dr Graeme Stasiuk is creating a state-of-the-art new drug delivery and imaging system using quantum dot nanoparticles. This system will allow doctors to deliver drugs to specific types of blood cell, called pla...
