At present there are limited treatment options for cardiac diseases such as heart failure. Stem cell research offers the opportunity to find new treatments for myocardial disease. We aim to isolate and expand cardiac cells derived from human embryonic stem cells and use them to simulate heart disease in the laboratory improve our understanding of cardiac disease. We hope that in future these cells will enable the discovery of drugs that alleviate the suffering associated with the disease.
