Carl is originally from the North East of England, but you’d never know it from his accent. Following a PhD in Quantitative Genetics that took in both Edinburgh (UK) and Brisbane (Aus), Carl moved to Oxford to work on the IBD arm of the seminal WTCCC project. In 2009 Carl moved to the Sanger Institute to establish the Genomics of Inflammation and Immunity group. Between 2014 and 2023, Carl was the Director of Graduate Studies, since 2023 he has been the interim head of the Human Genetics programme at Sanger.
