About Me

I am a HEFCE Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant in Cardiology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the University of Cambridge.

My specialty interest is cardiac and atherosclerosis imaging, using CT, MRI and nuclear methods. After medical training in UK and Australia, my PhD at the University of Cambridge described the first use of FDG PET for atherosclerotic plaque imaging and was funded by a British Heart Foundation Clinical Fellowship, under the supervision of Professor Peter Weissberg.

As a post-doctoral researcher, I won a BHF International Fellowship to work with Zahi Fayad at Mount Sinai Medical Centre in New York. This allowed me to develop further my interest in plaque imaging with novel techniques and targeted contrast agents.

In 2007, I returned to Cambridge to complete specialist training as a Cardiologist. I now work on both basic and clinical research projects with collaborators worldwide.

My work is supported by HEFCE, the BHF, the Evelyn Trust, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre. I am widely published on vascular imaging, including in the Lancet, Circulation and the European Heart Journal.

I was a British Atherosclerosis Society Young Investigator in 2003, and the Society of Nuclear Medicine Young Investigator in 2006.

Most recently, collaborative work on sodium fluoride PET between myself and colleagues at Edinburgh University won the 2011 RSNA Young Investigator Prize and the 2012 Parmley prize from the American College of Cardiology.
