Congratulations to Ziad Mallat’s group (Medicine). Their project is 1 of 4 shortlisted from 75 applications to Big Beat Challenge, a BHF call for international Projects to beat cardiovascular diseases.

The team will use cutting-edge technologies to build the first 3D “google map” of human atherosclerosis – the fatty deposits that develop in arteries – and gain new understanding into how and why the immune defence system goes awry and causes the disease. You can find more about the project here, and on the Department of Medicine website
