Dr Benjamin Woolf is a genetic epidemiologist who works on casual inference from observational data. His research focuses on using the inheritance of genetic variation to emulate randomised control trials, and thereby accelerate drug development.

Having failed to become a philosopher, Benji became a genetic epidemiologist. He currently works at the Medical Research Council Biostatistics and Integrative Epidemiology Units (at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol respectively). His research leverages the random inheritance of genes to emulate clinical trials ('Mendelian randomization'), and thereby accelerate drug development for cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. His PhD research won the 2023 Cambridge Public Health Early Career Researcher award for developing a novel approach to assess the causal impact of intergenerational risk factors, such as familial second-hand smoke exposure.

In addition to being an Associate Tutor at St Edmunds, Benji is a tutor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and has been elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
