Institute’s human genetics boss, Matt Hurles, to take over from Mike Stratton later this year
The Wellcome Sanger Institute has chosen the current head of its human genetics programme, Matt Hurles, as its new director.
The institute—which specialises in genomic research and is largely funded by the Wellcome Trust—said Hurles would start the role later in the year, following a handover period with the current director Mike Stratton, who has been in post for 13 years.
