I completed my medical graduation (MBBS) from Dow Medical
College (now known as Dow University of Health Sciences) in Karachi, Pakistan.
In 2004 I moved to UK and started working as a junior doctor in medicine. I
rotated through various hospitals in the Midlands and North West England thus
completing my core medical training.
I obtained membership of Royal College of Physicians (MRCP)
in 2008.
My
interest in the field of cardiology led me to a Clinical Fellow (SPR)
job in Bath, after which I worked as a cardiology Specialist Registrar
(LAT) in Southend-on-Sea for 1 year.
In October 2010 I took up
my current Clinical Research Fellow post with CRY (Cardiac Risk in the
Young). I am based at St George's University London, and am working
under the supervision of Professor Sanjay Sharma at the specialist
centre for Sports Cardiology and Inherited Cardiac Conditions.
My current research work
is based on cardiovascular screening in young apparently healthy
individuals and pre-participation screening in athletes using ECG.
I am
also looking into the impact of ethnicity (e.g. Asians) on physiological
cardiovascular adaptation to exercise.
I am a keen sportsman and
in my spare time I enjoy playing cricket, squash, tennis, golf and
snooker. I also enjoy socialising with friends and spending time with
family.
