Ahead of the academic year, UCL President & Provost Dr Michael Spence has confirmed several changes to senior leadership team reporting lines and the teams that sit under individual Vice-Provost portfolios. These changes are to ensure that those teams doing similar work are located together and apply particularly to those supporting health research and partnerships, to the Research and Innovation Services team and to teams in Libraries, Culture, Collections and Open Science (LCCOS). Health Professor David Lomas stepped down from his role as Vice-Provost (Health) at the end of August 2023 to facilitate this change. We are enormously grateful to him for his huge and important contribution to the profile and impact of health-related research at UCL in the institutional leadership roles he has undertaken. He has played a key role in the university's senior leadership team for many years and his particular strengths in building relationships and brokering partnerships have been hugely valuable to UCL and to the local and national health networks of which he has been a member. We are very pleased to say that David continues at UCL as Professor of Medicine/Honorary Consultant Physician and will focus on his research interests of antitrypsin deficiency, the serpinopathies and COPD, along with ongoing clinical responsibilities.
