    At the annual British Cardiovascular Society meeting marking the 100th centenary of the oldest Cardiac Society in the world five finalists were selected for the Young Investigator Award. The prize was established to ‘recognise excellence among young researchers intending to pursue a career in cardiovascular clinical medicine or research’. Finalists were selected following submissions of brief communications of original research from a large number of competitive applicants. Each finalist gave a 10 min oral presentation, followed by 5 min of questioning by the judges.

    Winner: Dr Chris Orsborne

    Dr Chris Orsborne is a clinical research fellow at the British Heart Foundation Manchester Centre for Heart and Lung Magnetic Resonance Research and a PhD student at the University of Manchester. His multidisciplinary supervisory team is led by Professor Chris Miller.

    Dr Orsborne’s research focuses on inherited metabolic cardiomyopathy, specifically Fabry disease. Cardiac manifestations of Fabry disease are common and the leading cause of death, yet they are poorly understood and in the absence of robust prognostic models, it is difficult to identify and treat at-risk individuals. Dr Orsborne uses contemporary and novel imaging biomarkers to understand the pathophysiology, prognostication and treatments of Fabry disease. His primary goal is to develop a tool that identifies at-risk patients with Fabry disease, so that timely interventions can be made (figure 1).
