ARCHIMEDES, (Advanced Research Collaboration for Health Integration, Medical Exploration, and Data Synthesis), is a health data platform funded through the Brain-Heart Interconnectome (BHI). Its aim is to deliver a user-friendly informatics platform with centralized access to curated and federated brain-heart health data and to provide an open-access repository and leading-edge analytic tools and resources.
The goals of the Atherogenomics Laboratory are to develop a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the genetic and molecular etiology of complex phenotypes, with a focus on coronary artery disease (CAD) and obesity.
The Behavioural Research Group focuses on developing and implementing systematic approaches to smoking cessation in clinical practice settings, promoting exercise and physical activity in patients with heart disease; and examining the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of different models of delivering primary and secondary prevention services.
The Bio-nanomaterials Chemistry and Engineering Laboratory (BnCE), under the direction of Emilio I. Alarcon, PhD, is located in the Research Centre of University of Ottawa Heart Institute. It is affiliated with the Biomaterials and Regenerative Research Program in the Division of Cardiac Surgery...
Research continues to play an important part of the mission of the Division of Cardiac Anesthesiology as we continually strive to improve patient care. Research focuses on predicting perioperative risk, characterization of patient outcomes and tailoring patient care towards prevention of adverse...
Our research program is very patient focused. In general we have two criteria when considering starting a new project. Firstly, is there an important clinical research question to be answered? Secondly, does our group have the necessary experience, skills, resources and collaborations to be able to...
Cardiac Function Laboratory Staff and Trainees
The goal of our research is to develop, advance and evaluate new and established imaging methods that will enable early, accurate, less invasive and cost-effective diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in order to optimize management for improved patient care and outcomes. The Molecular Function and...
The focus of our lab is to translate fundamental biological principles to the clinical setting. We are positioned within the Cardiology research program with projects addressing cardiac arrhythmias and regenerative medicine. Specific questions under investigation include the following: Can we devise...
The Cardiovascular Electrophysiology team is focusing on mechanistic studies of arrhythmogenic heart disease, with the hope of developing novel therapies for cardiac arrhythmias. Techniques used include somatic gene transfer, cellular electrophysiology, isolated organ and whole-animal studies, as...
Our research focuses on the role of behavioural, cognitive, psychological and social mechanisms and interventions for patients with cardiovascular disease and their partners, with the goal of improving cardiovascular health, mental health, and quality of life outcomes.
We are interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of cellular lipid homeostasis, trafficking and metabolism, particularly in lipid-loaded macrophage foam cells. During atherosclerosis, foam cells accumulate in the artery wall and are the precursor of heart disease. While today we have...
The Cardiovascular Research Methods Centre collaborates with Heart Institute investigators during all stages of the research process, from protocol design to drafting of a final manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal: The Centre aims to: To collaborate with clinician and basic...
The main goal of the Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Laboratory, under the direction of Erik Suuronen, PhD, is to develop tissue engineering and cell-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cardiac injury and disease. Despite major advances in therapy, there are still a significant...
Clinical Services staff are involved in research in a variety of ways, from identifying clinical problems amenable to research to leading studies as primary investigators. Staff are encouraged to present and publish the results of their academic and research activities at national and international...
Our research goals are to understand: The physiological importance of local DPP4 activity and substrate cleavage in the setting of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The cellular sites of DPP4 important for regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. How the gut adapts to food ingestion.
Our team performs human clinical research in the area of exercise science, cardiovascular rehabilitation and prevention and women’s health.
Dr. Kim’s research program focuses on genetic and metabolic regulation of heart development, function and disease, with emphasis on obesity, diabetes and heart failure. First, we are interested in the molecular function and mechanism of Iroquois ( Irx) transcription factors in the heart, which are...
The John and Jennifer Ruddy Canadian Cardiovascular Genetics Centre is the first comprehensive Cardiovascular Genetic Centre dedicated to both the research and clinical management of inherited cardiovascular disease in Canada.
