Industry Collaboration
The LCBRU is currently involved in collaborative research with over 30 industry partners including Abbot Vascular, Astra Zeneca and Novartis, across a range of studies aligned to our two key research areas. Examples of research projects include:
- investigations of novel devices - new stents, new types of valves and innovative ways of fixing new valves
- pharmaceutical studies - Phase II, III and IV and
- comparisons of different treatments e.g. PCI vs. surgery.
Many of these studies - some of which are multi-centre international collaborations - involve LCBRU personnel as Chief Investigators within the UK.
