One in every 20 Australian adults is affected by cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in Australia – and the world. Our mission is to reduce the number of people dying and suffering from this disease.

Who we're helping
I worry about the side effects of the coronavirus, as any sort of virus or infection could really be detrimental to a heart patient.
Who's helping us
I've got a soft spot for the success of the Heart Research Institute, because they've just proven over and over again that they've got the goods.
Atherosclerosis and Vascular Remodelling
Our mission is to identify and gain insights from the genetic and molecular pathways involved in atherosclerotic disease, and exploit these pathways to improve therapies with the aim of eradicating atherosclerotic diseases.
Cardiovascular-protective Signalling and Drug Discovery
Our mission is to repurpose existing drugs for next-generation cardiovascular disease therapy.
Read moreClinical Research
Our mission is to detect the earliest signs of heart and blood vessel damage with a view to preventing serious complications later in life.
Coronary Diseases
Our mission is to reduce death and disability associated with heart and lower limb arterial disease by reducing atherosclerotic plaque build-up.
Read moreFluxomics
Our mission is to identify and explore the cellular changes that are unique to each individual’s cardiovascular disease, with the ultimate goal of personalised treatment.
Read moreHeart Rhythm and Stroke Prevention
Our mission is to detect silent atrial fibrillation in the population and treat it, to prevent as many strokes as possible.
Read moreMicrovascular Research
Our mission is to determine the impact of inflammation on the structure and function of the arteries which have a key role in controlling blood pressure.
Read moreThrombosis
Our mission is to establish new and innovative approaches to the prevention and treatment of heart disease and stroke – positioning Australia as a leader in the discovery and development of innovative therapies for the treatment of atherothrombotic diseases.
Vascular Complications
Our mission is to understand fundamental mechanisms in molecular and cellular biology and develop more effective treatments for the debilitating conditions associated with vascular complications.
