Prof. Amedeo Chiribiri MD, PhD, FHEA, FSCMR is a recognized world-leading expert in cardiac imaging and cardiovascular MRI. He studied medicine in Turin, Italy and received an MD from the University of Turin in 2001 and completed specialist training in Cardiology in 2006 and a PhD in Human Physiology and Experimental Medicine in 2010.
Between 2006 and 2007, he was visiting physician at the German Heart Institute Berlin (DHZB), Germany, where he specialized in cardiovascular MRI. He works as Consultant Cardiologist at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital since March 2008. In April 2013, he took up the post as Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Cardiovascular Imaging at King’s College London and in August 2013, he became the Director of the Cardiovascular MRI Service at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital.
He was promoted to Reader in Cardiovascular Imaging in August 2018 and to Full Professor (Chair) in November 2020. His current roles include Head of Cardiovascular Imaging at King’s College London, and Director of NIHR HealthTech Research Center in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Medicine.
Prof Chiribiri’s main clinical and research interest is cardiovascular imaging, with a focus on cardiovascular MRI and quantitative imaging. His areas of expertise include the assessment of cardiac structure and function and tissue characterization using non-invasive imaging, and on the application of machine learning techniques for the acquisition and interpretation of the scans.
Prof Chiribiri has developed several techniques that enable the non-invasive assessment of myocardial blood flow (perfusion) and the non-invasive differential diagnosis between different causes of chest pain. Moreover, Prof Chiribiri is actively involved in the development and validation of novel experimental models to simulate physiological and pathophysiological processes and in the development of low-field MRI scanners for cardiovascular applications.
His areas of specialties are Cardiology and Cardiovascular MRI.
