The Centre for Cardiovascular Research, Innovation And Development (CURIAD) works collaboratively with partners across the healthcare and technology sectors, national and international higher education institutions, and third sector partners. CURIAD’s aims are to undertake high quality fundamental and integrated cardiovascular research and translate this research into practice for patient and public benefit. 

CURIAD has an established research and innovation infrastructure that facilitates the delivery of innovative fundamental science, mechanism-oriented physiological science and clinical research trials that provide pathways for research activities for the benefit of the health of the population.

CURIAD is underpinned by three internationally recognized research & innovation groups: 
(1) Cellular and Molecular Pathophysiology,
(2) Integrative and Applied Physiology, and
(3) Clinical Application and Translation. 

CURIAD has achieved significant success, including securing income from prestigious funding sources (e.g., NIHR, NIH, BHF, Fulbright, AMS, FPVII, UKRI, Horizon 2020, Stroke Association, Health and Care Research Wales, and Wales Innovation Network). Strategically, our 45-strong academic faculty are integrated within a large network of external partners, enabling our research groups to nurture high-quality collaborative research and evidence significant international reach.
