Crick Institute selects first 20 group leaders

The Francis Crick Institute has selected the first 20 group leaders who will move into the institute from their respective universities to undertake collaborative projects.

Ten male and ten female group leaders will be seconded to the institute from University College London, Imperial College London and King’s College London during the first half of 2016, the institute said on 25 June. 

The secondments will typically last 3 to 6 years and many of the group leaders are early-career researchers, the institute said. Those chosen have complementary expertise in physical, computational, biomedical and clinical sciences, it added.
