Tom Lumbers is UKRI Rutherford Fellow at Health Data Research UK, co-lead Genomics Group at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics, Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at Barts Heart Centre, and a Visiting Scientist at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at Imperial College London and subsequently completed training in Genetic Epidemiology at University College London. His cardiology training was at Barts Heart Centre and his clinical interests include noninvasive general cardiology, heart failure, and cardiovascular genetics. Tom’s research focuses on defining the genetic architecture of heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction to generate insights into causal factors and molecular disease mechanisms. He coordinates the HERMES Consortium (hermesconsortium.org), an international collaboration in heart failure genetics, and is co-lead of the phenotype working group at BigData@Heart, an EU public-private consortium (bigdata-heart.eu). He has received grant funding from the Medical Research Council, National Institute of Health Research, American Heart Association Precision Medicine Initiative.
