Professor Arlt is a renowned clinical endocrinologist will join MRC LMS from the University of Birmingham on 1 January 2023.
She will formally take up her new position from 1 January 2023. In addition, Professor Arlt will become Head of Imperial’s Institute of Clinical Sciences, one of the eight academic departments that make up the College’s Faculty of Medicine.
Wiebke is an award-winning clinical endocrinologist and leader of an international multi-disciplinary research team investigating the links between steroids and metabolic diseases. She will join the LMS from the University of Birmingham where she is currently Director of the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research and holds the William Withering Chair of Medicine. Professor Arlt is also currently Honorary Consultant Physician in the Department of Endocrinology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
Wiebke’s appointment marks the beginning of a new era for the LMS as it also moves into its brand-new state-of-the-art research facility in West London where it will adopt a new, challenge-based approach to research.
The LMS was established in 1994 and is a highly collaborative research institute where scientists and clinicians work side by side to further the understanding of biology and its application to medicine. Their aim is to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying human health and disease through the interface of genomics, physiology and epigenetics.
Wiebke will lead a renewed vision and mission for the LMS to further strengthen its clinical science and translation ambitions, maximising the benefits of its strategic location on the Hammersmith Hospital site and its partnership with Imperial College London to tackle challenges in human health.
As Director, Wiebke will have control of a core budget of £85 million over five years and direction of around 220 research and support staff. The LMS has just moved into a new, purpose-built cutting-edge research facility, jointly supported by MRC and Imperial College London, on the College’s expanding Hammersmith Hospital Campus. Wiebke will hold a joint appointment between the MRC and Imperial to help maximise the engagement, strategic alignment and co-operation between the LMS and the wider College. As the LMS approaches its 30th anniversary developing and renewing its mission will allow it to embrace the global health challenges of the 21st century.
