Job responsibilities

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic Research Nurse/Practitioner to drive the AdipoRedOx study, which investigates the mechanisms by which adipose tissue, the vascular tissue and the heart muscle interact. The AdipoRedOx study is part of the Oxford Heart, Vessels, and Fat cohort (Ox-HVF). This is a flagship programme that has, so far, recruited >1,600 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and has built the worlds largest and most sophisticated clinical cohort, with biopsies (and relative -omics data) from 6 different adipose tissue depots, arteries, veins and myocardial tissue and ex vivo phenotypic characterization of all these samples. The cohort has linked up to 15 years outcomes data through UK national databases (NHS Digital) and repeated Computed Tomography Angiography imaging data for disease progression.

The ox-HVF Radiotranscriptomic library is the largest platform linking transcriptomic with radiomic data, and offers unique opportunities for the use of artificial intelligence models in the development of new imaging biomarkers and the discovery of novel therapeutic targets in cardiovascular medicine. Work from the Ox-HVF cohort has indeed resulted in the development of a technology called Fat Attenuation Indexing (FAI), which was found to predict heart attacks years in advance (Lancet 2018 & 2024). This technology has received significant press coverage when it was first described in Science Transl Med 2017 in Financial times, BBC News, NBC, Guardian and others.

The project is funded by the British Heart Foundation. The successful candidate will take day-to-day responsibility for the operational delivery of the AdipoRexOx study and HVF cohort. They will screen and recruit eligible participants into the study arms, organise and/or perform imaging scans (e.g. ultrasound and CT scans), obtain and process blood samples, contribute to biological samples collection from surgical theatres, organise follow up appointments and perform other tasks relevant to the research (e.g. prepare ethics applications, data entry into the databases, image analysis etc). The Research Nurse/Practitioner will also be expected to contribute to the management of the study, accompany some of the participants for their scans to other study centres and handle the master files of the projects.
