Sir Rory Collins is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at the Clinical Trial Service Unit within the University of Oxford, the head of the Nuffield Department of Population Health and a Fellow of Green Templeton College, Oxford. His work has been in the establishment of large-scale epidemiological studies of the causes, prevention and treatment of heart attacks, other vascular disease, and cancer, while also being closely involved in developing approaches to the combination of results from related studies. Since September 2005, he has been the Principal Investigator and Chief Executive of the UK Biobank, a prospective study of 500,000 British people aged 40–69 at recruitment.

Jonathan Emberson is Professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on studying the causes and prevention of cardiovascular and other diseases through the design, conduct, analysis and interpretation of large-scale observational cohort studies, randomised controlled trials, and individual-participant-data meta-analyses of both types of study. Jonathan is the UK lead-PI of the Mexico City Prospective Study, where he is investigating the genetic and non-genetic causes of premature morbidity and mortality in a cohort of 150,000 Mexican adults.

Dr Sam Morris is an Early Career Research Fellow in genetics at the University of Oxford, working with the China Kadoorie Biobank and the Mexico City Prospective Study. His research focuses on population and statistical genetics, using biobank-scale datasets to study natural selection, admixture, and genetic variation and their relation to complex trait variation.
