Mahmod group
Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research
Our expertise is in clinical trials, whereby we aim to discover novel treatments for improving the health of patients with cardiac diseases. We use cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and spectroscopy techniques to improve our understanding of myocardial metabolism and function, and for early detection of cardiac abnormalities in cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valve disease and diabetes. We use cardiopulmonary exercise test to understand cardiovascular exercise physiology, by studying how oxygen and other nutrients are used by the heart during exercise. We work closely with multidisciplinary research teams including MR physicists, biomedical engineers and other cardiac imaging experts in the UK and elsewhere in the world.
Lewandowski Group: Developmental Systems Physiology
Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research
Our group focuses on understanding how alterations to early human development affect long-term disease risk and how to reduce risk through nutritional and lifestyle interventions. Disruptions to normal development, including exposure to pregnancy complications such as being born preterm, are risk factors for early heart failure, stroke and cardiovascular events. To study early developmental changes, we use multi-modality imaging, activity monitoring, questionnaire data and birth records, as well as blood sample collection to study cellular pathways in fetal through to young adult human cohorts.
Leeson Group: Preventive Cardiology Research Group
Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility Division of Cardiovascular Medicine
Our aim is to develop better ways to identify early disease and improve cardiovascular health for young people. This is achieved by undertaking work in three areas: (1) Identification of novel markers of early disease to better understand how disease becomes established (2) Performing cardiovascular prevention trials in young adults to understand how to modify early disease and improve health (3) Application of artificial intelligence to imaging and research datasets to identify next generation imaging and management approaches.
