Vice President and Chief Scientist, Illumina

“It is a great pleasure and honor to reflect that, after graduating as a biochemist from Cambridge 35 years ago, I have spent the last 20 years back there, working on DNA,” says David. “This echoes the tradition and history of Cambridge of course, with the work of Crick and Watson, Sanger and many other alumni that I have enjoyed meeting over the years. In 2015, my team has been working to sequence 100,000 genomes in partnership with Genomics England, the UK National Health Service.”
