• Cardiology training at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, before undertaking a PhD at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute through the University of New South Wales. His doctoral research in cardiac MRI tissue characterisation in cardiac transplantation led to the development of a novel “virtual biopsy” technique for non-invasive detection of allograft rejection. This work was awarded the President’s Prize from the Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand and was a finalist for the Ralph Reader Prize at the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand. This first in world study was subsequently published in Circulation.
