Expert Working Groups

Expert working groups

UK Biobank’s expert working groups play a key advisory role in supporting the Executive Team to develop and implement important enhancements. Through their support of the project, they play a vital role in shaping new enhancements that will support world leading health research.

Drawing on their expertise, members guide UK Biobank to develop new data collection that provides the most scientific value to the global health research community. Our current working groups focus on our most recent, large-scale projects, whole-genome sequencing on the full cohort of half a million people, and the detailed imaging of 100,000 participants.
