Tim Harris is a molecular biologist and biochemist. He started work in the biotech industry almost at its inception. He began his career in 1974, working on animal viruses, and was one of the first scientists to join the U.K. biotech company Celltech in 1981. Subsequently he spent nearly five years at Glaxo Group Research (now GSK) in the United Kingdom as Director of Biotechnology.

Latterly, Tim moved to Biogen as SVP Translational Medicine in 2011, before joining the haematology spinout Bioverativ, as head of R&D in March 2017 before the company was acquired by Sanofi. Tim is a presently a venture partner at SV Health Investors and actively works on behalf of several small biotechnology companies, some of which he founded.
