Stuart started as a research scientist. Following a BSc in microbiology at Imperial College and a masters in Computational Biology at the University of Manchester, Stuart completed a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at UCL followed by a postdoc at the Royal Veterinary College computationally investigating the genomes of mycobacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and various associated organisms.
After a brief segue in scientific research programme management, he finally gave medicine a go and obtained his MBBS from Kings College London in 2011 qualifying as a GP in 2018 via a clinical research fellow post at Hammersmith Hospital.
Stuart is now a salaried and Out of Hours GP in London and a Clinical Research Fellow in Queen Mary's Clinical Effectiveness Group with a special interest in the use of primary care data in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease under the aegis of the REAL HEALTH initiative.
