Daniel is a British Heart Foundation Senior Basic Science Research Fellow and leads pre-clinical cardiovascular imaging at UCL’s Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging.

Daniel's team develop image guided therapies for cardiovascular disease. He has published over 70 research papers that utilise advanced imaging technology to inform on and enhance the success of experimental treatments.

Prior to joining UCL in 2013, Daniel worked with Profs Sian Harding and Michael Schneider at Imperial College London. He led preclinical cardiac imaging for the National Heart and Lung Institute and investigated cell therapy, diffuse cardiac fibrosis, stress cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and transgenic models of disease using MRI, ultrasound and optical tomography.

Daniel studied for his DPhil at The University of Oxford in the Laboratory of Prof. Kieran Clarke. During his PhD he used MRI to assess the benefits of stem cell therapy for the infarcted heart, tracked the location of iron mircosphere labelled bone marrow stromal cells and cardiac stem cells in vivo, and performed extensive characterization of cardiac function after stem cell therapy and in transgenic models of heart disease, including hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy.
