Francis S. Collins is an American physician-geneticist, noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes, and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP). He is director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).

Collins’ commitment to free, rapid access to genomic information helped to make all data immediately available to the worldwide scientific community. In 1994, he founded NHGRI’s Division of Intramural Research (DIR). He is optimistic about the chances of uncovering hereditary contributors to common diseases, such as heart disease, cancer and mental illness.

Collins is known for his close attention to ethical and legal issues in genetics. His accomplishments have been recognized by numerous awards and honors, including election to the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.
