About

Amitava Banerjee is Professor of Clinical Data Science, University College London, and Consultant Cardiologist at University College London Hospitals and Barts Health NHS Trusts. He is a researcher, educator and clinician with interests spanning data science, cardiovascular disease, global health, training and evidence-based healthcare. He has been active clinically and academically throughout the pandemic. After qualifying from Oxford, he trained in Oxford, Newcastle, Hull and London, completing a Masters in Public Health at Harvard(2004/05), internship at World Health Organisation(2005) and DPhil in epidemiology from Oxford(2010). He was Clinical Lecturer in Cardiovascular Medicine in Birmingham, before moving to UCL in 2015.

Originally trained as an epidemiologist, he moved sideways to health informatics and learning health systems, allowing his clinical, research and education interests in cardiovascular and non-communicable disease(CVD and NCD) to inform and improve each other, centred on patients and driven by data. With over 200 publications(h-index 61), his research has emphasised application of routine data to improve knowledge and care of CVD and NCDs through epidemiology, data science and integrated care. The theme of better data for better care underpins his work, whether CVD in homeless individuals, NCD care in India, Global Burden of Disease Study, COVID or long COVID.
