30,000+ Australians are diagnosed with heart failure each year and yet, an estimated 144 heart donations are made annually.

But what if we could develop a durable artificial heart implant that could eventually negate the need for human heart donors entirely?

In celebration of National Science Week, join us as we host the innovative Co-Director of The Artificial Heart Frontiers Program, Professor Shaun Gregory for our Speaking of Science webinar series. Professor Gregory will discuss how the program is engineering the next generation of artificial hearts, with the end goal of saving countless lives now and in the future.

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions of our guest with a Q&A session. You will not want to miss this event!

Please note that this webinar will be recorded and published to NHMRC’s website afterwards as part of our ‘Speaking of Science’ series.
