Eamon Faulkner passed his PhD viva with minor modification for his thesis entitled "Investigation of Ageing Human Lung Endothelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis". We would like to thank Professors Chris Scotton (external examiner; far left), Francesca Buffa (external examiner; on screen), Drs. Francisco Rivero (internal examiner; second from the right) and Ahmed Aburima (independent chair; far right) for their time and stimulating discussion about the work.
