This website explains a series of research studies involving healthy volunteers.
A series of research studies investigating the role of genetics in cardiovascular health and disease.
This website introduces a series of important research studies established by the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge, involving healthy volunteers from the NIHR BioResource.
The NIHR BioResource is a group of over 200,000 volunteers who kindly donated blood and saliva samples for research purposes. Volunteers may then be invited to participate in our research studies based on their specific genetic make-up (so-called ‘recall’ studies).
Find out more about our research studies below:
Learn about the genetics of cardiovascular disease and how ‘recall by genotype’ studies are revealing more about the biology of cardiovascular disease.
Find out how you can volunteer for our studies and help research move faster.
Scientific publications from our studies are already revealing more about the genetics of heart disease.
The Cardiovascular Bioresource Studies are established by the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge and began recruiting participants in 2018. They are jointly sponsored by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Cambridge.
