Justin E. Davies MD, PhD

Justin Davies is a Senior Research Fellow and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London. His main research interests include the development and application of pioneering technologies in engineering to aid understanding of disease mechanisms, and in the diagnosis of pathological disease states.

After completing his undergraduate training at Imperial College, he was awarded a prestigious British Heart Foundation research fellowship to undertake his Ph.D. at Imperial College. Since then, he has trained in interventional cardiology with a specialist interest in the physiological and structural assessment of coronary disease states. In 2008, he was appointed as a Walport Clinical Lecturer to support his research activities alongside his ongoing clinical commitments.

Through collaboration with Kim Parker and colleagues at institutions throughout the world, he has used mathematical modeling to aid in understanding the mechanisms which lead to increased blood pressure which accompany aging and pathological disease states. More recently Justin has developed coronary wave intensity as a tool to assess the interaction between coronary microcirculation and the aorta in the supply of blood to the heart.
