Gokul completed his Bachelor's in Medical Sciences and medical degree at the University of Oxford. His research interests are centred on translational medicine, with a particular focus on environmental drivers of cardiometabolic disease. Past work has spanned a breadth of methodological approaches, including immunohistochemistry, cardiac MRI imaging, and large-scale cross-sectional survey research. The principal focus of his work is on the impact of temperature and global warming on cardiovascular disease burden, applying epidemiological methods to understand how environmental exposures shape population-level cardiometabolic outcomes. Alongside this, he is pursuing research integrating genomic data with environmental exposures to better characterise individual susceptibility to climate-related cardiovascular risk.
