Dr Sanne Peters joins Salim Yusuf Emerging Leaders Programme
Dr Sanne Peters, Research Fellow of Green Templeton College and Research Fellow in Epidemiology at the George Institute for Global Health, University of Oxford, is to join the 2019 cohort of the World Heart Federation’s Salim Yusuf Emerging Leaders Programme, in recognition of her work on reducing early death from cardiovascular disease.
Her research is focused on the determination and quantification of major and modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and how these associations may differ between women and men.
Now in its sixth year, the Emerging Leaders programme provides training for the leaders on cardiovascular implementation research, to build on their expertise with professional development, mentorship, policy research and networking. The 2019 cohort of 25 experts will undertake online training, a five-day think tank in London in October, and collaborative group work supported by seed-funding from the World Heart Federation. Previous cohorts have focused on essential medicines, stroke, and tobacco prevention and control.
Dr Peters will be joining experts from academia, civil society, healthcare and the private sector from 18 countries. The 25 leaders were chosen for their passion and commitment to improving cardiovascular health around the world.
Visit the World Heart Federation website to learn more about the Emerging Leaders programme, and follow Dr Peters on Twitter for activity updates.

The college hosted some very exciting guests last week! @gtc_gcr invited some Alpacas (and a Llama!) to come in for a student wellness event. They were indeed a welcome distraction for all!
A huge congratulations to everyone from @greentempletonboatclub who took part in Summer Eights 2026.
The club fielded an impressive five crews across four days of racing on the Isis, demonstrating commitment, teamwork and determination in one of Oxford`s most iconic rowing events.
