Former University of Bristol student Tim Roberts starts a PhD researching cardiac disease treatment.
A son who vowed to find a cure for his late father's heart disease when he was 11-years-old has started a PhD in his memory.
"I thought about giving up many times to help care for dad, but knowing that I was doing this for him helped me through," he said. But after his condition worsened, the family moved 9,000 miles to Texas in 2009 so he could receive a rare form of heart treatment not available elsewhere.In 2013 they moved to Cardiff, where Mr Roberts arrived as a 17-year-old without any qualifications and with the family's money gone.
