INAUGURAL LECTURE - Walking to the WNTer Wonderland
Professor Sarah George, Professor of Cardiovascular Signalling
Reception Room, Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road, Bristol
Heart disease is still the UK's biggest killer. The first coronary artery bypass was performed in 1960, but despite enhanced surgical techniques over the last 50 years, this surgery technique still requires improvement as the grafts themselves become diseased. This lecture will discuss Sarah's research journey over the last 20 years.
Organised by the Public and Ceremonial Events Office. No booking required.
Contact Nicola Fry on +44 (0)117 928 8515 or nicola.fry@bristol.ac.uk
2nd December 2011, 6pm
A CHANGE OF HEART?
Repairing damaged hearts with regenerative medicine: bringing science research into patient care
Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road, Bristol
Complementing the British Heart Foundation's 'Mending Broken Hearts' campaign, which is raising money for research to improve recovery after a heart attack, this year's public lecture will focus on the emergence of regenerative medicine in modern medical care.
Please return to the BHI website for further details of this event.
Public lectures organised by the BHI are free and open to all; no booking required.
