Matt Dimond
Matt Dimond is a Clinical Research Specialist for the Inova Heart and Vascular Research Department and a Clinical Research Intern for the Heart Failure Collaboratory. Matt joined Inova upon his graduation from Clemson University in May of 2021. Since then, he has worked as part of the advanced heart failure research team and helped with the study start-up and conduct of two randomized controlled trials. As an intern for the Heart Failure Collaboratory, he has learned from field-leading experts in heart failure and worked on numerous research projects aimed at improving the overall efficiency of therapeutic development programs. These experiences have contributed to his passion for research and goal of becoming a physician.
Matt is actively engaged with Inova-iTHRIV team members to help organize the annual Inova-iTHRIV Research Day event. During this event, all Inova service lines will gather to highlight their research efforts, share some of their challenges and opportunities, and network with other researchers.
Outside of work, Matt loves watching sports, playing the guitar, playing ice hockey, and golfing with friends. In the fall of 2023, Matt will begin his formal training at medical school.
