Sex differences in cardiovascular medication prescription: an interview with Dr Sanne Peters

Dr Sanne Peters is an Associate Professor at The George Institute for Global Health and a Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London. She is also Associate Professor at the University Medical Center Utrecht. After completing her MSc in Epidemiology in 2009, she obtained a PhD in Epidemiology from Utrecht University in 2012. Her PhD focused on subclinical imaging measures of atherosclerosis as a means to identify people at high-risk for future cardiovascular disease. As part of her PhD training, she spent 6 months at The George Institute in Sydney. This is where she started her research on sex differences in cardiovascular disease. In 2013, she was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship, which enabled her to continue her work on sex differences at the University of Cambridge. In 2014, she was offered a position at the George Institute offices at the University of Oxford (now in collaboration with Imperial College London). In 2018, she relocated back to the Netherlands and was also appointed as Associate Professor in Utrecht.
