Dr Nicholas Murray	Dr Ricardo Deveza
“Defining the regulatory architecture of Nkx2-5 and its association with cardiac arrhythmogenic risk”	“Accessing, assessing and optimising LVAD-patient interactions with the Heart Mate 3 device”
Dr. Nicholas Murray is a cellular biologist at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, working to characterise the role of cardiac-specific enhancers and non-coding RNAs in the regulation of heart development and risk of congenital disease.	Dr Deveza graduated with an MD degree from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and completed cardiology training in one of the largest cardiac centres in Latin America, Sao Paulo’s Heart Institute. He then completed a fellowship in heart failure and heart transplantation at St Vincent’s Hospital, followed by further specialty training in cardiology through St Vincent’s Hospital. He is currently finalising a PhD in mechanical circulatory support through the University of New South Wales and the Victor Chang Institute.
