Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine
at University of Leicester
Professor Toru Suzuki is chair of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Leicester and an honorary consultant cardiologist in the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust’s Glenfield Hospital, which is one of the UK’s and Europe’s main cardiac specialist hospitals.
He has a robust research program as a clinical academic and leads the Cardiovascular Translational Research group and Cardiovascular Biomarker Facility. He is a leading expert in biomarkers with a particular interest in the use of mass spectrometers to investigate proteins and metabolites in large patient cohorts. A recent series of projects he led identified gut microbiome-derived metabolites (including trimethylamine-N-oxide, TMAO) that are critically associated with heart disease and potential new targets for therapeutic intervention.
His laboratory is recognized as one of Europe’s leading cardiovascular biomarker laboratories. He is tasked to deliver the clinical/translational center for the UK Consortium on Metabolic Phenotyping, which positions his lab as the central clinical/translational phenomics center within the national landscape.
