REA3 research is driven through 3 pillars of research excellence that focus on specific research questions central to their field of study with clear interconnectivities through methodologies, technologies and approaches across these areas:
- Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome as Drivers of Cardiovascular Disease
- Fibrosis and Calcification in Cardiovascular Disease

Our pillars are closely aligned with 2 major cross-cutting themes:
