Scott Brouilette's profile
I'm male
What I do
I have recently joined Translational Cardiovascular Therapeutics, a new department headed by Prof. Ken Suzuki (formally of the Harefield Heart Science Centre), to study the role of biological ageing in cardiac development. By elucidating the cellular & molecular processes underpinning ageing of the heart we will be in a much stronger position to apply gene and/or cellular therapy for heart failure.
