Scientific co-founder of gut health science company ZOE
Professor of Epidemiology at King's College London
Top 100 most cited scientists globally and bestselling author

Tim Spector is a Professor of Epidemiology at King's College London whose research is reshaping how the world understands food, gut health, and personalised nutrition. He is the scientific co-founder of ZOE, the gut health science company behind the world's largest nutrition study. Tim has published more than 900 research papers and ranks among the top 100 most cited scientists globally. His five books, including the Sunday Times bestsellers Spoon-Fed and Food for Life, have reached readers around the world. His Netflix appearances and Channel 4 documentary What Not to Eat have made complex science accessible to millions. Tim's research directly challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to diet advice. Through the ZOE PREDICT programme, conducted alongside teams from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, he has demonstrated that individual biological responses to food vary far more than conventional guidance acknowledges. His work on the Covid Symptom Study app, used by over four million people, earned him an OBE and proved that large-scale citizen science can generate real public health impact. Audiences leave Tim's sessions with a clearer understanding of why standard dietary guidelines often fail individuals, how gut microbiome diversity connects to long-term health outcomes, and what practical, evidence-based steps they can take to improve their own diet.
