A CBC story describes a synthetic heart valve created by UBC researchers for surgeons to use in training. The synthetic material mimics human tissue and was created by Hadi Mohammadi, an engineering professor at UBC’s Okanagan campus.
“We want to provide the technology for training surgeons in order to basically practice a difficult surgery as many times as is needed for them to learn it perfectly,” said Mohammadi.
The research was also featured in stories in the Daily Courier, Kelowna Capital News and ZME Science.
