Jodie Ingles

Jodie Ingles is an Associate Professor and Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the School of Medical Sciences within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on genetic aspects of cardiovascular diseases, with expertise in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden cardiac death in young individuals, and the psychosocial implications of genetic heart conditions. She maintains an active clinical research program with strong collaborations across multiple institutions.

Dr. Ingles' research spans genetic testing methodologies, risk stratification in inherited cardiac conditions, and the psychological impact of genetic diagnoses on families. Her work demonstrates a unique integration of cardiology, genetics, and psychological sciences, focusing particularly on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden cardiac death in the young, and genetic counseling approaches. She has made significant contributions to understanding the genetic architecture of cardiomyopathies and developing clinical guidelines for genetic testing.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches to inherited cardiac conditions, with increasing focus on psychosocial aspects, implementation science, and digital health interventions. Her work shows consistent progression from basic genetic mechanisms toward clinical implementation and patient-centered outcomes, with particular attention to family screening protocols and communication strategies for delivering genetic information.

Dr. Ingles has been actively involved in numerous collaborative research projects including the Australian Genetic Heart Disease Registry and has contributed to international consensus statements on genetic testing in inherited cardiac conditions. Her research often involves large international collaborations, particularly in developing risk prediction models for sudden cardiac death in young patients with genetic heart conditions.

Her laboratory and research team work within a specialized multidisciplinary clinic setting, collaborating with cardiologists, genetic counselors, psychologists, and basic scientists to advance understanding and management of inherited cardiac conditions. Current projects include investigating sex differences in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, developing community support systems for families after sudden cardiac death, and implementing polygenic risk scores in clinical practice.
