vascular graft - working towards clinical trial (s), funded by Wellcome Trust,
with G Hamilton. Small diameter vascular stents - pre clinical, working on
surface modification of different polymer coatings and coverings,
biofunctionalisation. 4. Systems biology approach to vascular diseases. Vascular
surgery is one of the flagship programmes for the UCL Institute of Health Care
