Circulatory Health Research Center creates scientific and societal value by connecting cardiovascular researchers, clinicians and teachers. Because people work in different departments of the UMC Utrecht, we speak of a Circulatory Health community.
Core values within this environment are: equality, diversity and inclusivity with both a regional and international perspective, team efforts are recognized and rewarded, Open Science is promoted and quality prevails over quantity, researchers act from bench to bedside and actively search for collaborations with clinical specialists.
Our Strategic Program hosts over 700 researchers, clinicians and educators dedicated to finding ways to prevent, early detect, cure and live with cardiovascular diseases. They work together within research groups to accelerate the results of their projects. Link ‘Discover our research groups’ naar ‘our groups met Circulatory Health filter.
