Dr Ross Upton is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ultromics, leading the company’s work to advance the use of artificial intelligence in cardiovascular imaging.
Ross has a broad scientific background, having undertaken four degrees in the clinical sciences, and has spent his career applying advances in cardiovascular imaging and artificial intelligence to improve the diagnosis and management of heart disease.
