Title: Aetiological decomposition the heart failure syndrome using genomics and health records.
Biography: Dr Tom Lumbers is an honorary consultant cardiologist at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and Barts Heart Centre, UKRI Rutherford fellow at University College London, and visiting scientist at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.
After graduating in medicine from Cambridge University with double distinction he went on trained in clinical cardiology at UCLH and Barts Heart Centre. Alongside his clinical work, he received a PhD in molecular biology from Imperial College London and subsequently completed post-doctoral training in genetic epidemiology at University College London, as an NIHR clinical lecturer in cardiology.
Tom’s clinical work is based at UCLH and the Barts Heart Centre with interests in general cardiology, heart failure and clinical genetics. He leads the inpatient heart failure service at UCLH and is a member of the NIH ClinGen Dilated Cardiomyopathy Expert Group.
He co-leads the genomics group at the Institute of Health Informatics and his research focuses on defining the genetic basis of heart failure to generate insights into disease mechanisms to improve diagnosis and treatment.
