Ellie Quinn
Ellie trained in Human Sciences at University College London (UCL), before gaining a Master’s in Genetic Counselling at the University of Manchester. She has since worked in a research role at Great Ormond Street Hospital before specialising in Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions (ICCs); firstly at Barts Heart Centre, and then moving to the Royal Brompton Hospital. She has recently expanded her role to include providing genetic counselling for patients with inherited respiratory conditions, establishing a new service within this directorate.
Ellie’s research interests include the genetics of ICCs, with particular focus on cardiomyopathies. She is also a proponent of the modernisation of the genetic counselling profession through utilising technologies such as videoconferencing, apps and online platforms.
Abbas Zaidi
Abbas completed his undergraduate medical training at Imperial College, London, in 2002. He undertook his cardiology training in Wales and London between 2007 and 2017. He was a Research Fellow from 2010-2013 at the Centre for Inherited Cardiac Diseases and Sports Cardiology at St George’s Hospital, London, where he gained extensive experience in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of primary cardiomyopathies, ion channel disorders, and cardiac diseases in athletes. His research into the athlete’s heart led to the award of an MD in 2014, as well as first-author original-research publications in leading journals such as Circulation, JACC, and European Heart Journal. He went on to complete a cardiac MRI and cardiac CT fellowship at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, in 2016.
Abbas was appointed Consultant Cardiologist at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, in 2017. He is certified in cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, transthoracic, and transoesophageal echocardiography, and remains actively involved in the management of cardiac diseases in athletes. Abbas has authored British Society of Echocardiography guidelines on Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (2013), Preparticipation Screening of Sports Participants for Inherited Cardiac Diseases (2018), the Right Heart (2020), and the Tricuspid and Pulmonary Valves (2020).
