University of Oxford, Oxford (United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland)

I am a NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre Clinical Research Fellow, based at the Clinical Trial Service Unit (CTSU). Here, I am working under the joint supervision of Professor Barbara Casadei and Professor Louise Bowman in the AMALFI (Active Monitoring for AtriaL FIbrilation) trial, a study which aims to shed light on the burden of subclinical atrial fibrillation in elderly high-risk patients. I am also part of the clinical team for the ORION-4 (A Randomized Trial Assessing the Effects of Inclisiran on Clinical Outcomes Among People With Cardiovascular Disease) trial, a study which is assessing the effect of inclisiran, a novel cholesterol-lowering therapy, on cardiovascular events on patients with established atherosclerotic disease. My research interests include atrial fibrillation, heart failure and cardiovascular imaging, as well as randomised controlled trials and big data approaches to studying cardiovascular disease.
