After growing up in Australia, he studied for a doctorate in Mathematics in Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. His work has focussed on genetics and genomics for the last 15 years, and he feels incredibly fortunate to be involved in one of the most exciting areas of science. He's now excited to be building a company that translates some of those discoveries, and produces direct benefit to patients. From 2007 to 2018 he was Director of the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford.
