About Professor Amitava Banerjee

Professor Amitava Banerjee is a proficient clinician, a pragmatic researcher, and a passionate educator, with interests spanning health informatics, learning health systems, cardiovascular epidemiology, global health, training and evidence-based healthcare.

After qualifying from Oxford Medical School, he trained as a junior doctor in Oxford, Newcastle, Hull and London. His interest in preventive cardiology and evidence-based medicine led to a Masters in Public Health at Harvard(2004/05), an internship at the World Health Organisation(2005) and DPhil in epidemiology from Oxford(2010). He was Clinical Lecturer in Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Birmingham, before taking up the position of Senior Lecturer in Clinical Data Science and Honorary Consultant in Cardiology at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics in August 2015. He was promoted to Professor in 2021.

Amitava works across two busy tertiary care settings: University College London Hospitals and Barts Health NHS Trusts with both inpatient and outpatient commitments. Although he subspecialised in heart failure, he has ongoing practice in acute general cardiology and has a keen interest in the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation. His clinical work very much informs his research and vice versa, whether evaluation of medical technology or the ethics of large-scale use of patient data.
