HEAF Study Leadership

HEAF is one of many cohorts curated by the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre (MRC LEC) at the University of Southampton, under the oversight of its Director. We are delighted to welcome Professor Nicholas Harvey as the new Director of the MRC LEC, taking over from Professor Cyrus Cooper, who led the MRC investment in Southampton since 2010. Professor Karen Walker-Bone remains HEAF Study PI as a Visiting Professor at the University of Southampton and from her new position as Professor of Occupational Rheumatology and Director of the Monash Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health at Monash University in Australia.
