Who is Gemma Figtree?
The University of Sydney profile identifies her as a Professor in Medicine and describes research into susceptibility and response to heart attack. It connects molecular and cellular work with patient cohorts and clinical research. The Harry Perkins Institute biography also identifies her as an interventional and imaging cardiologist at Royal North Shore Hospital and a scientific advisory committee member at the institute.
These are institutional descriptions, checked on the date above. For current appointments and contact routes, use the institution's own page rather than assuming every copied biography has been updated at the same time.
Pick the source for your task
| What you need | Best starting point | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| A short professional biography | University of Sydney profile | The relevant affiliation and the context of the biography |
| A particular paper or research topic | University research-output directory | Title, authors, publication date and the linked paper |
| The institute's account of her background | Harry Perkins Institute profile | Whether the role or achievement is historical or current |
| Academic contact or collaboration | Contact controls on the university profile | Use the official route and state the relevant topic |
The university profile links an ORCID identifier, 0000-0002-5080-6083, which is useful when checking whether a research record refers to the same person. A matching name alone is a weaker basis for attaching a publication to someone's profile.
What does her research focus on?
The university biography emphasizes why people are susceptible to heart attack and how they respond afterward. The institute biography describes translating research into diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Those broad descriptions help identify relevant work; they do not mean every idea discussed has become a proven or available clinical treatment.
To investigate one research question, begin with a specific publication rather than a headline about a researcher. Save the paper's title, date and identifier, then check whether it is an original study, review or other output. This page does not rank the publications or substitute an institutional biography for a critical reading of a study.
Why can publication totals differ?
Profiles and output directories may reflect different update dates and different definitions of an output. The reviewed institutional pages themselves display differing totals. We therefore do not present one of those totals as a verified current career count. For a citation, use the individual research record you actually consulted.
If you are seeking medical care, an academic publication directory is not an appointment service or individualized medical advice. Use the relevant healthcare provider's current clinical contact process.
