For 25 years, Nick Thomson has used genomics to unlock the secrets of how infectious diseases spread around the world. We sat down with Nick to discover his plans as the new Head of the Parasites and Microbes programme.

Nick has recently returned from visiting key collaborators at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b) to launch the long-term Climate and Health research hub. As a faculty member at the Institute, Nick leads research projects and international collaborations in infectious diseases, tracking and predicting the spread of diseases that impact the health of people around the world. In 2024, Nick was appointed Head of the Parasites and Microbes Programme at the Sanger Institute, setting out an ambitious vision and strategy for the next decade.
