AI tool could help avoid fatal heart attacks
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that can predict 10-year risk of deadly heart attacks, could transform treatment for patients who undergo CT scans to investigate chest pain, according to British Heart Foundation-funded research presented today at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia.
Our researchers work across the full range of biomedical and clinical sciences, from the molecule to large population studies. The excellence of our research is recognised by our top placing in international league tables.
People Centric
From clinical trials to new challenges in medical ethics, our research revolves around the difference it can make to people’s lives around the world.
The power of data
Using massive clinical datasets we can find associations between health outcomes and potential contributing factors.
Insights in the Lab
We develop and apply cutting-edge techniques of analysis and imaging, from molecular scales to the whole body.

There are a variety of funding opportunities available to support research, public engagement and awards.
Research Strategy & Funding Team
We support the Division’s research mission and researchers by facilitating research strategy, policy and funding.
Engagement
Public Engagement
Public Engagement with Research is ways of engaging members of the public with the design, conduct and dissemination of research - with the goal of mutual benefit.
Business Engagement
The Business Partnerships Office (BPO) supports the establishment and long-term sustainability of strategic research alliances between industry and academia.
Policy Engagement
Informal or formal inquiries, in consultation or collaboration, policy engagement enables research and policymaking communities to improve public policy.
Public/Patient Involvement
Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in health and social care is research being carried out with members of the public, rather than for them.
