      They sort of already do. There is a special funding scheme called the National Institutes for Health Research which is designed to fund clinical research in the NHS. I have a grant from this body for the clinical trial we doing. I am also lucky in that liver doctors are very interested in our work and will go out of their way to help us in whatever way they can. One way they help is by providing us with bits of human liver they remove during operations, we can use this liver to make liver cells that we use to test drugs.
