Professor O’Regan is an MRC investigator, BHF Chair of Cardiovascular AI and Consultant Radiologist who leads the Computational Cardiac Imaging Group at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences. He is also Director for Imaging Research at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and a Theme co-lead for Imperial’s BHF Centre of Research Excellence Executive Committee. Professor O’Regan’s primary area of research interest is focussed on leveraging machine learning to discover mechanisms underpinning common cardiovascular diseases through integration of human imaging, genetic and environmental risk factor data. This includes development of algorithms for predicting human survival from cardiac motion and understanding how complex traits influence the risk of heart failure.
