GERALD F WATTS, DSc DM PhD FRCP FRACP FCSANZ. Gerald Watts trained at Imperial & King’s College, London University, and was a scholar at Wolfson College, Oxford University. He is a senior consultant physician, specializing in the rapidly developing field of cardio-metabolic medicine, and current chair of the Familial Hypercholesterolemia Australasia Network. He leads the Cardio-metabolic Service in the Departments of Cardiology and Internal Medicine at Royal Perth Hospital and is Winthrop Professor of Cardio-metabolic Medicine in the University of Western Australia. Research interests include fundamental and applied aspects of lipid disorders and cardiovascular prevention, and improving healthcare delivery for patients with high risk dyslipidemias, in particular familial hypercholesterolaemia and hyperchylomicronaemia. He has supervised several Masters, MD and PhD students and post-doctoral research fellows, and holds several research grants, with multiple collaborations.
