Professor Bruce Neal is a Senior Director at The George Institute for Global Health, Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney and Co-Chair of CANVAS and CANVAS-R. I am a Senior Director at The George Institute for Global Health, Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney and Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. I completed my medical training at Bristol University in the UK in 1990 and spent four years in clinical posts working for the UK National Health Service. Prior to taking up my position in Sydney in 1999 I worked as an epidemiologist at the Clinical Trials Research Unit in Auckland, New Zealand, where I completed my PhD in Medicine. I have played lead roles in multiple large-scale clinical trials of drug therapies for cardiovascular disease and a decade ago established the Food Policy Division at the George Institute. I also have a strong interest in research operations and commercialization and am the Scientific Director for George Clinical, our for-profit Academic Research Organization.
