How good is the conduit function of the aorta?

Here we propose a momentum-based metric allows for a non-invasive and robust characterization of inefficiencies with distinctive spatial and amplitude precision.

Kudos to Uxio Hermida!

🎓 🏆 King's Outstanding Thesis Prize winner! 🏆 🎓

Won after his hard PhD work to better understand the coarctation of the aorta, delivering insights to better predict its onset before babies are born, and providing a research prototype being tested in the clinic!

"Potter for one day" experience in Oxford

at Magdalen College

honoured to deliver the Bioengenuity keynote - impressed by the great work by Mauricio Villarroel & ‪@profaris.bsky.social‬

glad to see award to supervision excellence to Michael Gray, a healthy sign of a supportive research culture

How to measure what we cannot observe?

By model fitting

We have studied 1000's subjects from @ukbiobank.bsky.social and learned how electrical conduction velocity and cellular parameters are affected by sex, aging or obesity, and explain why these factors are linked to a higher cardiac risks.

The multi-disciplinary fun. One of the ingredients that I like the most of my job.

Yesterday I disguised myself as a real doctor and witnessed the incredible orchestration that happens in the EP lab, this time led by Sandra Howell and Aldo Rinaldi

A highlight of David's work, on the synthesis of echo images using diffusion models - check out the ability to synthesize crazy views, and thus the huge potential for data augmentation!

When you learn more from your PhD student than what you teach them – this is a joy!
This is the case of David, who passed his PhD viva yesterday
His proud supervisory team: @albertogomez.bsky.social, Arian Beqiri and myself
Thanks to examiners Wenjia Bai & Yipeng Hu, and to funder @ultromics.com
