As a physician and obstetrician, Mark saw the devastating effects of prematurity first hand. He felt frustrated by his inability to do more for his patients.
With his expertise in obstetrics and research, Mark was in a unique position to tackle the problem of premature birth. He founded Borne as a research appeal with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and the charity became independent in 2016.
As Borne’s Chief Scientific Officer, Mark is responsible for framing the vision and intended impact for research funded by Borne. A Scientific Advisory Board reviews all research proposals and oversees the measurement and reporting of Borne’s progress and impact.
