Profile

ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7497-6266

I qualified from Medical School of University of Genoa in 2000. My clinical training in imaging took place in Genoa. I was awarded my certificate of completion of speciality training in 2004. I then joined the non-invasive cardiac imaging group at the Thoraxcentre/Erasmus MC University Medical Centre Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and received my PhD with honors in 2008 entitled “Computed tomography of the coronary arteries”. Supported by a grant from the European Society of Cardiology, I moved to the UK in 2008. Since then I have worked for the Royal Brompton hospital and in the Cardiology group of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Sciences Centre, Imperial College London, at Hammersmith Hospital, in cardiovascular hybrid imaging (PET/CT). After contributing to the clinical service of the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre in Essex in 2009, I joined the Centre for Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging and the NIHR Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit at Barts as a Senior Clinical Lecturer in May 2010.

My main clinical and research interests are technical and clinical aspects related to non-invasive cardiac imaging (cardiac computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance, nuclear cardiology) in a range of heart conditions. I am a member of the Nucleus of the Working Group in Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT of the ESC, an executive committee member of the British Society of Cardiovascular Imaging and a Specialist Committee Member for NICE Diagnostic Assessment Programme.
