with Dr Philip Kilner

Day and night, life long, blood streams through our heart and seeps through the microvessels that permeate our body. Can imaginative faculties, informed by decades of painstaking inquiry, begin to appreciate the complexity, beauty and unity of this living system?

After qualifying in medicine, studies of sculpture and flow led Philip to a career in heart research.  At Great Ormond Street Hospital, his flow models contributed towards a novel approach in reconstructive heart surgery.  He went on to specialise in Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the living cardiovascular system, becoming Consultant and Reader at Royal Brompton Hospital and Imperial College, London, until his retirement in 2017.
