World Health Research (WHR) has world leading researchers available across a broad spectrum of research areas. These include:
Our researchers and their teams are dedicated to working with industry partners to improve health through research, education, and advocacy.
WHR’s leading researchers have decades of experience in the most effective ways to treat heart attacks, a form of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) – from pharmacotherapies to new stents and thrombectomy devices. We also have experience with new medical device indications and clinical evidence generation.
WHR’s researchers have led landmark studies in anesthesiology, perioperative care, and surgery. They have investigated anesthesia and pain, surgical procedures including left atrial appendage occlusion, and new paradigms in improving perioperative outcomes.
WHR’s researchers investigate cardiac arrhythmias with related complications including heart failure, as well as how to treat subclinical atrial fibrillation. They explore the risk factors that predict bleeding and others that predict stroke to tailor antithrombotic therapy to match a patient’s risk.
WHR’s researchers are leaders in brain health and stroke research presenting emerging evidence that treating vascular disease and vascular risk factors can reduce cognitive and functional decline.
WHR researchers are leaders in the field of cardio-oncology focused on the detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer or occurring as a side effect of chemotherapy and radio therapy.
WHR researchers have investigated the effects of medications and lifestyle approaches on diabetes prevention, diabetes remission, and on preventing serious death and serious health outcomes in people with diabetes and prediabetes. They have also identified a wide variety of proteomic and genomic risk factors and novel causes of diabetes-related serious Health outcomes.
WHR researchers aim to combat the combined challenges of poverty-related infectious disease and under-nutrition. They have led research in epidemics of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancers, and poorly developed health systems that contribute to higher mortality.
WHR researchers are leaders in the field of cardiovascular disease prevention focusing on the most common modifiable risk factors.
WHR researchers have investigated the treatment of patients that require dialysis, have severe glomerular disease, have perioperative acute kidney injury, and various forms of chronic kidney disease.
