Profile

I trained as a physician at Oxford and then London before undertaking pre and postdoctoral training in the UK and USA working on cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and the molecular properties of potassium channels. I returned to the UK and worked for a long time at University College, London as a Wellcome Trust Senior Research fellow in Clinical Science and subsequently Professor of Molecular Medicine. In 2011 I moved to Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry to take up a Chair of Cardiac Electrophysiology. In recognition of this work I was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2006. I have worked on funding committees for the British Heart Foundation, MRC, UKRI and Wellcome Trust. I was previously Head of Clinical Pharmacology at the William Harvey Research Institute.
