I developed a pulmonary artery-on-a-chip as part of a BHF centre of research excellence pilot project http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bhf-research-excellence/pilot-projects/ that has subsequently been awarded PhD funding - also from the BHF. I also produced a video to communicate this research to the public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqniQfROc9A.
