What is the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research Network?
Our multidisciplinary research network interdigitates scientists and clinicians from UEA Faculty of Science, Faculty of Medicine & Health, and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.
We work together to understand and tackle cardiovascular and metabolic disease, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and vascular dementia. Major funders within the network include BBSRC, British Heart Foundation, NIHR Wellcome Trust and industrial partners.
