Spotlight on... Professor Dame Anne Johnson

This week we meet Professor Dame Anne Johnson, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at UCL Division of Infection & Immunity, Co-Director of UCL Health of the Public and President of the UK Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS). What is your role and what does it involve?. I have several different roles. I am a Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the UCL Institute for Global Health, and I'm involved in a number of major research projects including i-Sense, developing novel diagnostics and pathways for infectious disease detection, and Virus Watch, studying transmission of COVID-19 in a large community cohort study. I'm Co-Director of UCL Health of the Public - a virtual school that seeks to bring together research relevant to public health, across UCL's Faculties. I'm also President of the UK Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) which means I get involved in many aspects of science policy. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?.
