Spinnaker-Health Research Foundation

We love it when our superstars of research drop by for a visit. Dr Warren Pavey is a great ambassador for Spinnaker and we have been in the fortunate position of supporting his research in to the improved viability of hearts for transplant. Warren is committed to ensuring more patients receive lifesaving transplants and that those hearts are in the very best possible condition when received.
