Adam Lewandowski, PhD, MSc, BSc

Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Science and Deputy Chief Scientist for UK Biobank
University of Oxford and UK Biobank

Adam Lewandowski is Deputy Chief Scientist for UK Biobank and Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Science in the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford. He completed his undergraduate studies in biological sciences at the University of Guelph, Canada, his Master’s degree in Healthcare Data at the University of Cambridge, UK, and his PhD in Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford, UK funded by a Commonwealth Scholarship. He is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and a Member of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology Childhood Taskforce. Adam’s research has largely been focused on using multi-modality, deep phenotyping approaches to identify early cardiac and vascular changes in people at risk of cardiovascular disease across the lifecourse. He has benefitted from project grant funding from the British Heart Foundation, a British Heart Intermediate Fellowship, and MRC Programme Grant funding for research into the impact of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm birth on long-term cardiovascular risk in the mother and offspring. As Deputy Chief Scientist for UK Biobank, Adam is the scientific lead for the world’s largest prospective multi-modality imaging programme, which involves over 100,000 participants across multiple timepoints with 20 years of follow-up data. Furthermore, he is developing the scientific strategy for future enhancements to the full 500,000 participant cohort, including the Brain Health Study to further characterise participants with neurodegenerative diseases and a cohort-wide healthy ageing assessment to better capture changes in frailty and ageing.
