Personal profile
Biography
I am an Associate Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of East Anglia and an Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals Foundation Trust.
I graduated in Medicine with Honours and became a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 2007. After completing my BHF-funded PhD at Leeds (2017), I undertook 3-years of NIHR Clinical Lectureship at the University of Sheffield.
My research focus is the development and translation of novel imaging methods in cardiovascular medicine to improve patient care, especially Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
My ambition is to discover and advance a better understanding of the interface between cardiovascular flow and cardiac remodelling.
