Researcher stories
In this section, you can hear from people at the forefront of health innovation and find out more about what is coming up in the next few years.
Improving treatment for valve disease
Dr Claire Conway’s research focuses on the mitral valve, one of the four valves that control blood flow in the heart. She and her team demonstrate how they use digital models and laboratory bench simulations to predict how to repair heart valves and help patients.
Pumpinheart: innovating for cardiac care
Dr Aamir Hameed and his team explain how research moves from the laboratory to the bedside. Learn more about a new pump that could transform the lives of patients with heart failure. A prototype is on display in Humanarium.
