Research standards
The Cardiovascular Research Group (CRG) has an excellent record in obtaining external grant funding and currently holds core grants with a total value exceeding 25 million. Publications in the last seven years exceed 500 with >25% being in top leading journals.
Since the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), we have worked towards developing an integrated 'bench to bedside' translational approach for understanding the underlying mechanisms responsible for the functioning of the cardiovascular system in both health and disease. Our success and strategy has been recognised by the latest RAE 2008 results finding that 100% of the CRG researchers are recognised internationally with 75% of these rated as world-leading and internationally excellent. This result placed the Manchester CRG 4th in the UK.
