Research

Interdisciplinary research projects are an important mission of the Heart Research Center Göttingen (HRCG).  An important example is the clinical research unit 155 funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).  In addition, there are competitive research projects in several areas of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease supported by international collaborations.

European Research

The Heart Research Center Göttingen coordinates two large-scale projects funded by the European Commission: : EUGeneHeart and EUTrigTreat.

EUTrigTreat is a project which includes 12 academic institutions and 3 small companies altogether from 9 European countries. The project investigates mechanisms und new strategies to treat life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, and is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Stephan E. Lehnart.

EUGeneHeart was one of the largest Europe-wide heart research projects with over 20 partner sites from ten countries. EUGeneHeart investigated mechanisms of heart failure from 2006 until 2010 and was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gerd Hasenfuß. The grown European network continues to pursue its work beyond the project's official end.
