His research has been focused on changing how cardiovascular disease is treated and prevented through large-scale clinical trials. Salim is recognised for determining the risk factors for heart disease and stroke. His large-scale studies involving tens of thousands of patients in dozens of countries have changed the way some of the world's most deadly health conditions are prevented, treated and managed, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and blood clots. Salim has published more than 800 articles in refereed journals, rising to the second most cited researcher in the world for At the World Heart Federation he is initiating an Emerging Leaders programme in 100 countries with the aim of halving the cardio-vascular disease burden globally within a generation.

50 RHODES LEADERS CASE STUDY: DR ERIC LANDER Dr Lander is one of the principal leaders of the Human Genome Project, and one of 11 inaugural winners of the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences. Over the past 15 years, he and his colleagues have created many of the key tools of human genomics and have applied these tools to pioneer new ways to understand the basis of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases. in 2009, President Barack Obama appointed him to co-chair the President s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The genome is a fossil record, a landscape, a whole geography of distributions. The thing about the human genome that most surprised me was how many amazing stories there were in it. You might think the genome's just a boring string of letters, like reading the ones and zeros on your hard disk, but the genome is a storybook that's been edited for a couple of billion years. Dr Eric Lander

51 RHODES LEADERS CASE STUDY: ROXANNE JOYAL AND MARC KIELBURGER Two Rhodes Scholars who founded both Free The Children, an international charity and educational partner, and Me to We, an innovative social enterprise. Together, Marc and Roxanne combine philanthropy and business acumen with the goal of empowering children all over the world. Today, Free The Children has pioneered new ways to engage with communities across the globe. We Day is a series of annual events that brings together youth in Canada, the United States and the UK who are passionate about making a positive impact in their local communities and in the world at large. Through We Day, we have the chance to literally see an entire generation of young people in North America and now the UK, get excited about changing the world. Young people have some of the most imaginative and driven minds out there and seeing what they are able to accomplish when given the right tools fuels hope for a better world, and further inspires us to do what we do.
