Biography

Dr Alan Cameron is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer and Specialty Registrar in Stroke Medicine. His research focuses on preventing atrial fibrillation (AF)-related strokes through improved AF detection and management. Dr Cameron was awarded a PhD in Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Glasgow British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence in 2019. He contributes to international stroke guidelines; is a Fellow of the European Stroke Organisation; and a member of the AF Screen International Collaboration. He regularly delivers oral presentations at international/national stroke conferences, including European Stroke Organisation Conferences where he has been awarded a Commendation and Young Investigator Award.

Background

Alan graduated in Medicine from the University of Glasgow in 2010 and achieved an Intercalated BSc in Cardiovascular Medicine with First Class Honours in 2008. He completed early clinical academic training as part of the Glasgow Academic Training Environment (GATE) from 2010 to 2014, and a Clinical Teaching Fellowship in Medicine with Postgraduate Certificate in Health Professions Education (Merit) at the Western Infirmary Glasgow from 2014-15. He was awarded a PhD from the BHF Centre of Research Excellence at the University of Glasgow School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health in 2019. Since being awarded his PhD, Alan has worked tirelessly to develop a novel and innovative research programme that aims to improve prevention of AF-related stroke.

Research interests

Dr Cameron has developed a translational research programme that aims to improve selection of people for AF screening to prevent AF-related strokes through prognostic risk scores that include demographics, natriuretic peptide blood biomarkers, artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and genetic risk.

AIMS
• To define the impact of using these biomarkers to guide AF screening pathways.
• To define the optimal device and duration of cardiac rhythm monitoring to screen for AF in people after stroke.

Dr Cameron has been awarded grants to support his research from funders including the Stroke Association, Heart Research UK, Chief Scientist Office, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, Tenovus Scotland, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, The Mason Medical Research Trust and Pfizer. Alan supervises PhD, MSc and BSc students and contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes to help develop the next generation of researchers and clinicians in stroke and cardiovascular medicine.
