Eric Topol

And before we finish up, is there anything else you wanted to say?

Oh, you're very kind.

And I look forward to the next chance we get to visit in person.

It's been too long, Matt, and all the best to you.

Thanks for joining today.

Hello, this is Eric Topol from Ground Truths, and I'm really delighted to welcome today Sir John Bell, who has had an extraordinary career as a geneticist, immunologist.

We'll talk about several initiatives he's been involved with during his long tenure at University of Oxford.

Recently became head of the Ellison Institute of Technology in the UK.

So welcome, John.

Well, I think it's just extraordinary the contributions that you have made and continue to make to advance medicine.

And I thought what we could do is get into that.

I mean, what's interesting, you have had some notable migrations over your career, I think starting in Canada at Stanford and over at Rhodes Scholar, Oxford.

And then you, of course, had a couple of decades in a very prestigious position in

which, as I understand, was started in 1546 by Henry VII, the Regis Professor of Medicine at the University of Oxford.

Do I have that right?

Henry VIII, that's great.

Yeah, okay, good.

Well, that's a pretty notable professorship.

And then, of course, in recent times, you left to head up this pretty formidable new institute, which is something that's a big trend going on around the world, particularly in the U.S.

we'll talk about.
