An integrated approach to the problem of inflammatory diseases will result in research ranging from gene targetting to clinical studies on patients with inflammatory disorders. Fundamental immunological mechanisms underlie the ongoing application of public immunisation programmes in Europe and beyond. Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in Europe. Over the last 10 years, cardiovascular biology has emerged as a major research area spanning gene manipulation and cell and molecular biology to integrative biology and clinical research. Major themes include cardiovascular growth and development, endothelial function and vascular injury and repair.
Opportunities exist to fully exploit research findings via international collaborations.
