\n*_Professor Stephen Greenwald Professor of Cardiovascular Mechanics\
 , Institute of Cell and Molecular Science_*
\n
\nFollowing a BA in Natural 
 Science at Hertford College Oxford in 1971 and a PhD in Medicine (Pathology
 ) from Guy's Hospital Medical School (1975)\, Steve Greenwald obtained a Br
 itish Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship working on arterial elast
 icity in children. This was followed by a position as research assistant in
  the Pathology Department of The London Hospital Medical College investigat
 ing the relationship between arterial structure and mechanical properties a
 nd how this relationship is modified by vascular disease. He has been on th
 e academic staff of The Medical College since 1980 and obtained a personal 
 chair in Cardiovascular Mechanics in 2001. Since 2002 he has been head of i
 ntercalated degrees and an Associate Director of The Interdisciplinary Rese
 arch Centre in Biomedical Materials at Queen Mary University of London. He 
 was elected as the Vice President of the International Society of Pathophys
 iology in 2006 
\n
\n*_Dr Julia Shelton\, Reader in Medical Engineering\, S
 chool of Engineering and Materials _*
\n
\nJulia Shelton’s field of resea
 rch covers biomechanics\, in particular\, the development of measurement sy
 stems applied to the body. Aspects of her research include using a range of
  optical systems\, the evaluation of tissue engineered structures and devel
 oping accelerated wear testing\, in vitro\, for the evaluation of total hip
  joint replacements. She has three main areas of research interest namely o
 rthopaedic systems\, tissue engineering and optical systems. Overall her re
 search is concerned with all aspects of biomechanics. She has been involved
  in research in the IRC in Biomedical Materials\, co-ordinating 4 project a
 reas namely orthopaedic alloys\, fracture fixation\, orthopaedic systems an
 d ligament replacement.
