Biography

I am a Clinical Lecturer in Clinical Pharmacology and an Honorary Consultant at Guy’s St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. My clinical research career began in 2008 when I joined the European Centre of Excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of arterial hypertension while studying Medicine at the University of Pisa. After completing my medical training, I was inspired by my research passion to join King's College London in 2015, where I developed an interest in the influence of ethnicity on cardiovascular disease. In 2016, I supported King's College London British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence, and in 2021, I completed my PhD in Cardiovascular Medicine. My research focuses on hypertension and its mediated target organ damage, arterial stiffness, and cardiac remodeling. I have extensive expertise in the non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular structure and function using multi-modality imaging.
