Andrew Melbourne is a Reader in Healthcare Technologies at King's College London and Joint Head of Education in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences. Dr Melbourne's team are implementing imaging studies and computational modelling for supporting novel fetal interventions; for measuring how the placenta is working in the womb; and for helping understand the links between early preterm birth and subsequent outcome. Working closely with clinicians and physiologists in cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional collaborations, Dr Melbourne's work focuses on conditions such as fetal growth restriction and twin pregnancies where fetuses share a placenta (@GIFT_Surg), supported by funding from the Wellcome Trust, EPSRC, NIH, MRC and BBSRC.

Dr Melbourne has been Programme Director of the MSc Healthcare Technologies since its introduction in 2019 and also leads the School's People & Culture committee, overseeing staff development, training and community-building initiatives.
