The BHF and Diabetes UK are major funders of many important research projects in the Division that are looking into finding out more about the causes of heart disease and diabetes. In the past six years the BHF has awarded almost £0.5 million to the University. Much of the important work done by the Division could not happen without the valuable support of the BHF and Diabetes UK.
