Professor Michael Mahmoudi
BSc, MBBS, PhD, FACC, FRCP
I studied medicine at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine where I was awarded distinctions in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and neurology. I undertook junior doctor training in cardiology at the Wessex Deanery, Cambridge, and the Washington Hospital Centre (DC, USA).
I joined the research group of Professor Martin Bennett in Cambridge where I studied the influence of statins upon the DNA damage signalling pathway and their impact in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease. I was awarded a BHF grant in 2005 and completed my PhD in 2008.
Having spent two years as an Interventional Cardiology Fellow in Washington DC, I returned to the UK first as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Cambridge and then as Senior Lecturer in Cardiological Sciences and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the University of Surrey. In 2016 I could no longer resist the allure of the South coast and re-joined the cardiology team at Southampton. I was awarded a personal chair at the university of Southampton in July 2024.
My areas of clinical interest include coronary artery disease, chemotherapy-induced heart disease (cardio-oncology), alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac biopsy. Recently I have led on the set up a mitral valve edge to edge (mTEER) service at University Hospital Southampton with Dr Wilkinson and I am currently the clinical lead for this service.
Outside medicine, my family and I are passionate Hellenophiles and try to spend as much time as possible travelling across Greece.
