Aleena is an academic cardiology trainee at Imperial College London with a strong commitment to all aspects of cardiovascular medicine, from clinical practice to academic research. She completed her medical degree at the University of Cambridge before earning a PG Cert in Health Policy and a distinction from her Masters in Preventive Cardiology, further shaping her interest in the intersection of science, systems and patient care. She has published original research publications, reviews, book chapters, and presented at international and national conferences. Aleena established the Imperial cardiology teaching programme for SpRs and will begin her PhD in interventional cardiology (coronary intervention) in 2026 - giving her plenty of motivation to stay informed and write about the latest developments in the field. Outside the hospital, Aleena can usually be found on a tennis court, out on a run, or at the piano.
