Sir Paul Nurse

Director, Francis Crick Institute

Eminent geneticist and Nobel Prize-winner Sir Paul Nurse took over as director of The Crick in 2015, moving from his role as president of the Royal Society. The Crick’s research helps further understanding about why disease develops and finds new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Nurse’s ground-breaking work and research into the factors that control the division and shape of cells earned him the Nobel in 2001 and the Royal Society Copley Medal in 2005. He is a former CEO of Cancer Research UK and the Imperial Cancer Research fund.
