Paul Evans, Principal Investigator
Paul Evans is Professor of Vascular Metabolism and Dean for Research Impact at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Wales, Paul undertook doctoral and postdoctoral training in Cambridge, UK, supported by competitive fellowships at the Babraham Institute. He later held academic positions at Imperial College London before joining the University of Sheffield as Professor of Cardiovascular Science in 2011. He was recruited to QMUL in 2023.
Paul has supervised 20 PhD students as primary supervisor, all of whom have completed successfully. Several now run their own laboratories as independent principal investigators, an outcome he considers his greatest professional achievement. Lab members have also won numerous research prizes, reflecting high-level science in a supportive environment. His research has been published in over 150 papers and recognised with multiple prestigious awards, including the European Society of Cardiology Outstanding Achievement Award. He is currently Chair of the ESC Council for Basic Cardiovascular Science and Chair-elect of the Gordon Research Conference on Vascular Biomechanics (2027).
