Professor Mark Schuster has been appointed Executive Dean of University College London’s Faculty of Population Health Sciences and will hold the David Cohen Professorship of Primary Health Care and Population Health. He succeeds Interim Dean Professor Sam Janes.
Schuster joins UCL from the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J.

Schuster now leads one of the world’s top-ranked public health faculties, advancing research and education aimed at addressing major global health challenges and improving population health outcomes.
