Rasheda Chowdhury is an Honorary Research Fellow at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. She completed her education in Natural Sciences at Cambridge University, graduating with a Part II in Pharmacology in 2003, followed by an MSc in Pharmacology at the University of Oxford in 2004. She was awarded her PhD in 2011 with a thesis titled "Gap Junction Remodelling and Conduction Abnormalities of the Heart." Dr. Chowdhury is part of the ElectroCardioMaths Programme within the Imperial Centre for Cardiac Engineering. Her research interests focus on the electro-architecture of the myocardium, striving to understand structural factors that influence normal and abnormal electrograms. Her work investigates the relationship between electrogram morphology and local cellular activity, using cell and tissue models to analyze how these factors contribute to electrical propagation. Dr. Chowdhury's projects include significant grants aimed at enhancing the understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. She has supervised numerous undergraduate and postgraduate students and is currently leading the Foundations module for the MSc in Cardiovascular Respiratory Healthcare.
