Biography

Dr Sohaib Nazir is a Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Senior Lecturer in cardio-oncology, multimodal imaging and heart failure at Royal Brompton Hospital and King’s College London. He is accredited at level III in CMR and Cardiac CT by both EACVI and SCCT/SCMR and has achieved board accreditation from the International Society for Cardio-Oncology, following a fellowship in cardio-oncology. He is accredited by the British Society of Echocardiography in transthoracic echocardiography.

He undertook his PhD at King’s College London to investigate novel methods of myocardial perfusion with Cardiac MRI and PET following the award of a Medical Research Council Training fellowship. He was subsequently awarded with an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship prior to his current appointment. 

He is the Deputy Director of the Cardio-Oncology Centre of Excellence at the Royal Brompton Hospital, which was awarded Gold Accreditation by the International Cardio-Oncology Society.

He is leading on a number of clinical studies related to multimodal imaging in cardio-oncology and coronary artery disease. More recently, as part of a team effort at King’s College London, his team was awarded with a £13million grant from the Medical Research Council for Total Body PET imaging and a €50.5million EU grant (COMPASS project) to advance cardio-oncology care and research for patients with cancer and heart disease. He hopes to use this in the future to improve diagnosis and treatment for patients.

He has a passion for teaching and holds a postgraduate certificate in healthcare education. He is also the module co-lead for the Clinical applications of Medical Imaging, for MSc in Healthcare Technologies course at Kings College London.
