Congratulations to Professor Edith Heard from everyone here at Wellcome! We look forward to working with you to build on The Crick's successes and Sir Paul Nurse's remarkable legacy.
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
