| I graduated in Medicine from the University of Pavia and started my specialist training in Cardiology in Italy. In 1989 I came to Oxford with a 6-month training fellowship and I have been in the UK ever since. I became the Joan and Richard Doll Research Fellow at Green College and obtained a DPhil in 1995 under the supervision of Professor Peter Sleight. I have been honorary consultant physician since 1995. In 2001 I was awarded a Senior Research Fellowship from the British Heart Foundation and in 2002 I became Reader in Cardiovascular Medicine in Oxford. I was elected to the Basic Science Council of the European Society of Cardiology in 2004. I started my research career as a clinical investigator and I progressively drifted into mice, cells, molecules and back to humans. This development has been made possible thanks to the help and friendship of many colleagues from whom I learned (and still learn) a great deal. By the time I completed my DPhil, I had become addicted to the collegiality of the academic environment and the excitement that comes from being part of it. Further information is available here. As a member of the BSCR committee, I hope to transmit my enthusiasm for a career in research and academic medicine to younger colleagues and to do my best to increase the visibility (and ideally the funding) of integrative and translational research in the UK by promoting interdisciplinary communication and wider exchange between research groups with similar interests and complementary expertise. |
