Reza Razavi is a Professor of Paediatric Cardiovascular Science at King’s College London, and a Paediatric Cardiologist at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

“LIHE is a fantastic environment for a new start-up with not only great space but with the Venture Builder great support in the many aspects of getting your company of the ground that would be hard to get on your own. This Includes quality management and regulatory support, clinical trials and health economic expertise, business planning and marketing help and assistance with external communications. All so valuable!”
