Welcome to Microvascular@Manchester and thanks for your interest in our work!

We are one of the largest scientific groups dedicated to small artery research and are committed to finding treatments for small artery or ‘microvascular’ disease in whatever form it takes, whether this is in the brain (dementia), the lungs (pulmonary hypertension), during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) or more globally throughout the body (obesity related microvascular dysfunction causing hypertension). In parallel with this, we greatly enjoy teasing out fascinating cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie healthy small artery function.

We take great pride in helping our graduates with their career progression and in ‘Our Alumni’ pages you will see global leadership positions within the cardiovascular research community.

Our philosophy is loosely based around the ‘work hard, play hard’ strategy and in ‘Socials’ pages you will find see evidence of the ingenuity and imagination of our social secretary.

We aim high and our work is published in some of the world’s top science journals including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, The Journal of Clinical Investigation,Science Signaling, Hypertension and Circulation Research.

Check out ‘Research’ for weblinks and descriptions of the studies. Our findings capture the imagination of the world’s press and charities, particularly our work on dementia, and we feature heavily both online and in print.

Our most prominent media appearances are ‘In the News’. We’re always on the lookout for the next small artery geek. So if you like what you see and you think that you’d like to join our wonderful group of friendly scientists and clinicians then get in touch!
