Hunterian Professor Dr Umar Sadat receives the prestigious Hunterian medal 2019
Umar Sadat (Christ’s College, 2008), currently a Clinical Lecturer in Vascular Surgery at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, delivered the Hunterian Lecture at the Annual Scientific Meeting 2019 of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
Hunterian Professor Dr Umar Sadat delivered the official 2019 Hunterian Lecture on ‘Morphological, biomechanical and functional assessment of atherosclerosis with magnetic resonance imaging” on 29th November 2019 at the Annual Scientific Meeting 2019 of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland, held in Manchester. Vice-President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Professor Cliff Shearman, awarded the Hunterian medal to Professor Sadat.
The award ceremony was attended by members of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland, including eminent scientists and vascular surgeons.
Dr Sadat has been awarded Hunterian Professorship for his long-standing contributions to developing special techniques using magnetic resonance imaging that can identify atherosclerotic plaques in great detail, help risk stratify patient cohorts and guide treatment with known and novel anti-atherosclerotic therapies.
His award is rather unique in the long history of awards of Hunterian Professorships spanning over 200 years since 1810, as his research brings together diverse fields of cardiovascular medicine, MR physics, radiology and vascular surgery to developing this technique.
This Hunterian lecture will soon be available on Royal College of Surgeons of England Youtube channel.
