Chris is the Programme Director for Multiple Long-Term Conditions at The George Institute for Global Health, UK and Clinical Reader in Global Brain Health at Imperial College London. He works clinically as a Cognitive Neurologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London.

He has a particular interest in the impact of multiple long-term conditions upon cognitive function in low and middle income countries and leads a programme of research on dementia and its co-morbidities in Latin America. His work is driven by the belief that high-quality, multi-disciplinary science can and should drive changes in public policy for the benefit of those most in need.

Chris trained in medicine at the universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh and completed specialist training in cognitive neurology in San Francisco and Oxford. His research has explored the ways in which memory and thinking are affected by brain diseases such as dementia and epilepsy. At The George Institute and Imperial College London, Chris’ work focuses on evaluating and improving brain health amongst disadvantaged communities and understanding how this relates to burden of chronic disease.

Jagnoor Jagnoor is a global leader in injury prevention and trauma care, serving as Program Lead of the Injury at The George Institute for Global Health. She is Co-Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Injury Prevention and Trauma Care.

With a background in injury epidemiology and global health, Jagnoor's research explores the impacts of injury, the social and economic determinants of injury burden, and the effectiveness of interventions to reduce harm and support recovery among populations experiencing vulnerability. She brings deep expertise across injury surveillance, road safety, drowning, falls, burns, whiplash, and mild traumatic brain injury, underpinned by a strong commitment to equity, system strengthening, and data-driven decision-making.

She has made significant contributions to policy reform, including informing compulsory third-party insurance models in Australia and contributing to national injury prevention strategies in Asia and Africa. Her research and advocacy have shaped global drowning prevention efforts and health systems responses to injury in resource-constrained settings.
In 2024, Jagnoor convened the Safety 2024 Conference, co-sponsored by the World Health Organization, bringing together global experts to accelerate action on injury prevention and safety promotion.

In addition to her research leadership, Jagnoor serves on multiple advisory and governance boards, where she contributes her expertise to advance public health, evidence-informed policy, and research equity.
