Two Newcastle University scientists have been shortlisted for the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) annual ‘Reflections of Research’ image competition.

The competition challenges British Heart Foundation-funded scientists to put forward the most awe-inspiring image taken as part of their research into cardiovascular health and disease. Each picture offers an insight into their crucial work.

The ‘embryonic human heart’ was submitted by Moira Crosier, a researcher involved in a BHF-funded study at Newcastle University.

‘Development and remodelling of the human fetal valves’ was submitted by Jasmin Turner>, a Research Associate with the HDBR and a PhD student in Cardiac Development at Newcastle University.
