CaRM covers all research into cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions and related topics in Cambridge. CaRM PIs and Associate PIs are mostly based in VPD-HLRI, working closely with clinicians at Addenbrooke’s and Papworth hospitals and extending into Cambridge Cardiovascular.
In 2024, CaRM successfully renewed its status as a British Heart Foundation Centre for Research Excellence. In collaboration with the Cardiorespiratory BRC theme, CaRM aims to improve cardiovascular and lung health across the world by working collaboratively across the university, NHS, commercial and charitable sectors.
