2022 FORUM Sir Colin Dollery Lecture with Prof Dan Roden

Professor Dan Roden MD is Professor of Medicine, Pharmacology, and Biomedical Informatics and Senior Vice-President for Personalised Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre. His research programme studies how genetic variation affects human disease susceptibility, with a focus on pharmacogenetics, and on genetic determinants of abnormal heart rhythms, especially those induced by drugs.

In 2006, Prof Dan Roden was tasked with leading Vanderbilt University’s efforts in personalised medicine. Under his leadership, Vanderbilt University has become internationally recognised for cutting edge programs in this area.

The Academy’s FORUM Sir Colin Dollery Lecture recognises a key individual working at the interface of academia, industry and healthcare and provides an opportunity to promote discussion amongst FORUM members, Academy Fellows invited guests and the public.

The lecture is named in memory of Sir Colin Dollery FMedSci’s contribution to biomedical and health research and his family’s commitment of long term financial support for this event. This year marks the second FORUM Sir Colin Dollery Lecture.
