Dimitra Krexi
DPhil Student
Upon successfully completing my Core Medical Training at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, I attended a face-to-face cardiology interview for the south west regional cluster in England, achieving overall rank 1 (Interview Score 90.7 out of 100) and I got a post on the Thames Valley Deanery cardiology training rotation with a cardiology national training number and am fully committed to a career in clinical academic cardiology.
Having successfully completed two years of my Cardiology Core Training, I have taken time out of my training programme to pursue a DPhil in Medical Sciences - Radcliffe Department of Medicine under the supervision of Professor Charles Redwood and Professor Ming Lei.
My research project focuses on exploring the role of catecholamines in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion. Most of my work will be carried out in human, rat and mouse samples to understand the clinical phenotype of this disease that is in line with my clinical training and builds upon previous research completed by my Supervisors.
To date, I have studied and earned two University degrees:
• MSc degree in Clinical Education, University of Edinburgh.
• Primary medical qualification (MBBS), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
