Building on the strong foundation and achievements of the CVRC, the HCCR marks a strategic step forward in fostering interdisciplinary, translational, and innovative research in cardiovascular medicine. As cardiovascular diseases continue to be a leading global health challenge, our center is dedicated to addressing complex questions through collaboration across disciplines and institutions — from basic science to clinical application.
Located in the heart of Hamburg, one of Europe’s most dynamic scientific and medical hubs, the HCCR brings together academic researchers, clinical experts, and industry partners to accelerate discovery, translation, and implementation. Our center aims to generate breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and digital health technologies, with a focus on personalized and data-driven approaches to cardiovascular care.
At the core of our mission lies a commitment to scientific excellence, innovation, and the training of the next generation of researchers and clinicians. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, a strong network of partners, and a forward-thinking vision, the HCCR is poised to make meaningful contributions to cardiovascular health — regionally, nationally, and globally.
We look forward to shaping the future of cardiovascular research — together.
