Abhirup Banerjee MStat PhD FDIRDI

Dr Abhirup Banerjee is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Principal Investigator at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. His research lies at the intersection of cardiovascular science, artificial intelligence, and computational modelling, with a focus on digital twins, geometric machine learning, and multimodal data integration for cardiac diagnostics and interventions.

He leads the Multimodal Medical Data Integration & Analysis (MultiMeDIA) Lab, where his team develops personalised, predictive models of cardiac anatomy and function using large-scale imaging and physiological datasets. A key aspect of his work involves reconstructing patient-specific 3D/4D cardiac structures from coronary angiography, cardiac MRI, and ECG. His AI-driven pipelines for coronary reconstruction, infarction modelling, and atrial fibrillation mapping are designed for real-time clinical use and have been patented in collaboration with Oxford University Innovation.

Dr Banerjee’s approach to cardiovascular science is rooted in the application of advanced computational methodologies, including variational autoencoders, point cloud networks, graph-based attention models, and statistical shape analysis. His work exemplifies a commitment to interdisciplinary innovation, translating cutting-edge algorithms into clinically meaningful tools.

He has authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and serves on the Editorial boards of several international journals. His research has been widely presented at leading scientific meetings, contributing to the advancement of data-driven approaches in cardiovascular medicine. He is also actively engaged in public outreach, regularly participating in science exhibitions, open days, and community engagement events to promote awareness of biomedical engineering and digital health.

The Young Scientist Award from the Indian Science Congress Association in 2017 in the Section of Information and Communication Science & Technology (including Computer Sciences).

Dr Banerjee’s research interests are primarily focused on (but not limited to) Multimodal Reconstruction and Analysis of Digital Anatomy for Real-Time Clinical Interventions; in particular Segmentation, Landmark Detection, Tracking, Motion Modelling, Reconstruction, Registration, and Fusion of 2D/3D/3D+t Human Anatomical Structures (Cardiovascular, Cerebral, Biliary System, etc.) and Physiological information from Multi-Modality including X-ray, Angiography, MRI, CT, US, etc.

The video below showcases some initial research imapcts of Dr Banerjee’s work for patients and the NHS.
