We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive. Edith, who is currently director-general at EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025. We are lucky that Paul will continue his laboratory and research at the Crick after stepping down as director and chief executive. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e38A-P7p

  • The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today.
