Sir Patrick brings a wealth of experience from industry, government and academia

ARIA’s non-executive directors play an integral role supporting ARIA’s mission to fund high-risk, high-reward research – they include the former Chair of the UK Vaccine Taskforce, a Nobel Prize winner and policy experts

Science and Technology Secretary Chloe Smith has today (Tuesday 27 June) formally appointed Sir Patrick Vallance to continue serving on the Advanced Research and Invention Agency’s (ARIA) board. The former government Chief Scientific Adviser has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director.

ARIA was formally established at the start of the year, and is an independent body tasked with creating transformational research programmes with the potential to create new technological capabilities for the benefit of humanity

It is a key part of the government’s plans to build a better future with innovation at the heart of the Prime Minister’s priorities of growing the economy and improving lives

Sir Patrick provided invaluable support in the establishment of ARIA, and served on the ARIA board in his capacity as the government’s Chief Scientific Advisor until departing that role earlier this year.

He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organisation. Before taking the government role that thrust him into the spotlight during the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Sir Patrick held several senior roles at pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, and before that he led the Division of Medicine at University College London and worked in the NHS.
