Professor Anushka Patel of the University of New South Wales has made ground‐breaking research discoveries that have overturned conventional thinking about cardiovascular disease risk factor management, and she has also made a significant impact on disruptive low‐cost strategies to deliver effective care.



As one of the few clinician scientists globally working in this area, Professor Patel’s work is motivated by the epidemic of chronic non‐communicable diseases affecting populations around the world, but particularly disadvantaged groups in Asia.
