Professor Rachel Chalmers studied for BSc at Napier University Edinburgh and PhD at Coventry University gaining her award in 1996. She has since worked in microbiology and surveillance of infectious diseases. In 1997 she won a Churchill Fellowship to study the food-borne protozoan Cyclospora in Peru and USA. In January 2000 she became Consultant Clinical Scientist and Head of the national Cryptosporidium Reference Unit (CRU) within Public Health Wales Microbiology Swansea, based in Singleton Hospital alongside the College of Medicine.
Rachel’s contract includes a remit to develop, specify, direct and promote research and development programmes aimed at underpinning and strengthening the services delivered by CRU; and to ensure that CRU contributes to international initiatives aimed at improved surveillance, diagnosis, management, risk assessment and quality assurance. These research outcomes also contribute to the training and teaching of the academic aspects of microbiology, notably within the Graduate Entry Medicine Scheme in the College of Medicine. In recognition of her close collaboration with the College, Swansea University recently appointed Rachel as Honorary Clinical Professor. Hence her research is “primarily focused” in the College of Medicine.

Dr Alex Chase studied Medicine at Oxford University and St Bartholomew’s Medical College, qualifying in 1993. He trained in Cardiology in Bristol and received a British Heart Foundation Fellowship for doctoral research in the molecular mechanisms underlying heart attack, winning the Young Investigator Award in Basic Science at the European Society of Cardiology in 2001. In 2005 he was the first recipient of the prestigious Boston Scientific Interventional Fellowship in Victoria, Canada, a renowned centre in trans-radial coronary intervention.
Since 2007 he has been Consultant Cardiologist at Morriston Hospital in Swansea within Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board. His contract includes three weekly sessions for research and teaching, enabling him to make substantial contributions (including patient recruitment and authorship) to two major cardiological studies. MORTAL provided the first evidence that the trans-radial approach to coronary intervention improves mortality relative to the predominant trans-femoral approach (Heart 2008). PRAMI was the first randomised trial of revascularisation strategy during acute ST-elevated heart attack (NEJM 2013). As Morriston Hospital undertakes research and teaching with and for the College of Medicine under the formal partnership between Swansea University and the Health Board, this research is “primarily focused” in the College.
