Professor John Collinge, FRS
Head of the Department of Neurodegenerative Disease and Director of MRC prion unit, University College, London.
John Collinge is Professor of Neurology and Head of the Department of Neurodegenerative Disease at the UCL Institute of Neurology.

Professor Collinge is committed to highly multidisciplinary research and the seamless integration of basic laboratory and clinical research. His laboratory demonstrated in 1996 that the new human prion disease, variant CJD, was caused by the same prion strain as that causing BSE in cattle and has been responsible for a number of key advances in the field.

He is committed to public communication on prion research.
