Mark Caulfield: The 100,000 Genomes Project
Mark graduated in Medicine in 1984 from the London Hospital Medical College and trained in Clinical Pharmacology at St Bartholomew’s Hospital (Barts) where he developed a research programme in molecular genetics of hypertension and clinical research. In 2009 he won the Lily Prize of the British Pharmacology Society. He is a Fellow of The Royal College of Physicians. In 2000 Mark successfully bid for £3.1m to create the Barts and The London Genome Centre at the Queen Mary University of London. Since 2008 he has directed the Barts National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit.
Oxford MedSoc & Oxford BioSoc are delighted to be welcoming Mark to Oxford, to talk about his work as Chief Scientist for The 100,000 Genome Project, and we hope many people will take this opportunity to learn more about potentially one of the most influential studies currently ongoing within genetics and healthcare.
