This prize is awarded annually to the PhD student deemed to be making the greatest contribution to the field of biomedical engineering research and is adjudicated based on submission of a research paper and delivery of a presentation summarising their work. My paper, entitled “Dynamic stimulation allows development of a functional tissue engineered heart valve”, was selected as the winning presentation from 24 initial submissions and four finalists by a panel of eight interdisciplinary judges from academia and industry.
