This Heart Month, The University of Manchester BHF centre is going red to raise money for lifesaving research.

Whether it's losing a loved one to a cardiac arrest or coping with the devastating impact of heart failure, too many of us have felt the pain of heart and circulatory diseases. We’re urging the nation to help us save and improve more lives by Going Red this February.

Our BHF funded research centre is powering lifesaving research into heart and circulatory diseases. At Manchester, we advance cardiovascular research by driving interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle cardiovascular disease. We focus on innovative strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care, with an emphasis on combining cutting-edge technology and clinical expertise to deliver high-impact and translational discoveries.
