In addition, Professor Storey is Academic Director and an honorary Consultant Cardiologist for the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Directorate, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Professor Storey received his BSc in biochemistry from the University of York, UK, in 1985 before going on to earn his medical degree (BM) from the University of Southampton in 1989. After completing general professional training, he trained in the fields of cardiology and internal medicine in Nottingham, completing specialist training in 2001. During that time, Professor Storey developed a keen interest in thrombosis research, studying platelet biology and pharmacology, conducting clinical research studies in patients with cardiovascular disease, and obtaining a postgraduate degree in research (DM) from the University of Nottingham. In particular, he has published original articles spanning both preclinical and clinical research fields that have supported the development of novel antiplatelet strategies, including characterization of the roles of the P2Y12 receptor and effects of novel P2Y12 inhibitors. He is in the top global 1% of highly-cited authors in clinical medicine (Clarivate Analytics).
Professor Storey served as a member of the executive committees for the DISPERSE2, PLATO and PEGASUS-TIMI 54 studies, leading the platelet function substudies for these trials, and of the steering committees for numerous other studies. He was Chair of the Working Group on Thrombosis of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) from 2012-2014 and has been a Task Force member for ESC guidelines on chronic coronary syndromes (2019), non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (2011 and 2015) and dyslipidaemias (2011).
