Career Trajectory
Bio
I have been Head of Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester since April 2020 and was appointed Personal Chair in Cardiac Electrophysiology in 2013. Since starting as Clinical Senior Lecturer in Cardiology at the University of Leicester in 2002, I have built up a strong, inter-disciplinary team of basic and clinical scientists working on a comprehensive research programme in addition to developing and delivering excellent clinical service and teaching. I have attracted >£11m in funding within my group – notably a BHF Programme Grant, MRC DPFS Award, NHS/UKSA/ESA grant and NIHR i4i Award, published >160 papers and trained ~30 postgraduate students. I supervise a cross-disciplinary team of young researchers including basic scientists, clinical fellows and biomedical engineers. My clinical practice and expertise as cardiac electrophysiologist feed and interact directly with my basic science research in neurocardiology and arrhythmia mechanisms. The novel innervated heart model I developed had attracted significant national and international grant funding and collaboration and produced new results published in high-impact journals. I contributed significantly as co-PI in the successful bid for the NIHR Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit at Leicester (£5.5m) in 2008, the successful rebid of the LCBRU (£6.2m) in 2012 and the award of the Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (£11.6m)(2017-2022) in addition to the BHF Research Accelerator Award (2019-2024) and the BHF 4y PhD programme (2021-2024), for which I am Director. My translational work has led to 2 strong patent applications of a new method of sudden death risk stratification which won a Medical Futures Award 2011: Best Innovation in Diagnostics and the European Heart Rhythm Association Inventors Award 2016 – one granted in China, Japan, USA, Australia, Canada and Europe and the other granted in Australia, USA and Japan.
Clinically, I am an active interventional cardiac electrophysiologist delivering the regional specialist Cardiac Electrophysiology service at Glenfield Hospital which covers much of East Midlands with ~1,000 ablation procedures performed each year. I have been Faculty and speaker at conferences, invited operator at live courses and have organised and chaired international electrophysiology meetings as well as being external examiners for higher degrees. I had the privilege to be the first person in the world to use a novel Amigo robotic catheter system in clinical studies and catheter ablation (2010), and to combine its world-first use with 3-d mapping systems. Working closely with device companies, I have early access to novel technologies in mapping systems and ablation tools with UK-first application to clinical practice (Topera, EPD-Kodex, Qmode+), which have been adopted by other centres in the UK, Europe and beyond. I implanted the first novel CardioFit vagus nerve stimulator in the UK (2012) as UK Chief Investigator of the INOVATE heart failure trial amongst other multicentre trials. I had chaired the Abstracts Committee as well as the Judges Panel for the Young Investigators Competition for 10 consecutive years (2009-18) at the Heart Rhythm UK Annual Congress. I am President-Elect of the British Cardiovascular Society, having been Vice President (Research and Education) (2020-3) and chaired the Programme Committee in organising the Annual Conference. I am active in NHS leadership as Deputy Chair of the East Midlands Cardiac Network and Pathway lead for Heart Rhythm management as well as Non-Executive Director of Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. I review regularly for numerous cardiology and biomedical engineering journals and have been on grant funding review panels including BHF, MRC and EPSRC.
