Farr Seminar: "Reconstructing blood pressure waveforms for the earlier detection of disease", Dr Manasi Nandi

Tuesday 6 December 2016, h.13:00–14:00

Dr Manasi Nandi is a Senior Lecturer in Integrative Pharmacology at King’s College London. Her research focuses on cardiovascular dysfunction in disorders including pulmonary hypertension and septic shock. She completed her PhD at the Institute of Child Health and post-doctoral research at University College London. During this time, she developed a number of in vivo systems to characterise a novel mouse mutant and small molecule, and helped identify a nitric oxide modifying pathway as a  target for the treatment of septic shock. Her current research focus has arisen from a collaboration with a mathematician (Prof Philip Aston). A novel mathematical method (attractor reconstruction) has been developed which can extract extra information from routinely sampled physiological signals (BP, ECG) by exclusively quantifying changes in the waveform shape -  this in turn, may facilitate earlier diagnosis.
