Jose Novo Matos

Jose Novo Matos is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on cardiomyopathies, with particular emphasis on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, echocardiography, micro-computed tomography, and the interplay between genetics and environmental factors. He is a Principal Clinical Cardiologist in the Department of Veterinary Medicine. His work explores advanced cardiac imaging techniques and their application in phenotyping cardiac disease. His research interests also include the genomics of cardiomyopathies and environmental factors modulating the cardiac phenotype.

JOSE NOVO MATOS is a Principal Clinical Cardiologist specializing in veterinary cardiology, with a focus on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats. His research explores the clinical and echocardiographic features of HCM, including its natural history, biomarker changes, and ventricular arrhythmias. He also investigates cardiac imaging techniques such as micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to assess myocardial disarray and fibrosis. His work includes studies on feline cardiomyopathy, such as transient myocardial thickening, systolic anterior motion, and diastolic dysfunction in diabetic cats. Additionally, he has contributed to research on bacterial desulfurization processes and their applications in environmental biotechnology.
