British - Scientist Born: January 25, 1953
A computer, by definition, cannot be held accountable for anything because there
is no mechanism to hold it to account, short of turning off the electricity
supply or destroying the hardware. Only humans can be accountable.
Mark Walport

Henry Wellcome certainly was a talented character with a colorful and amazing
personal story.
Mark Walport
It is important to recognise that, alongside the huge benefits that artificial
intelligence offers, there are potential ethical issues associated with some
uses.
Mark Walport
Science is not finished until it is communicated.
Mark Walport
I look forward to working closely with the Research Councils, Innovate UK, and
Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), as we work together to
create UKRI. I also look forward to working closely with all of our research and
innovation communities to provide a strong and coherent voice for U.K. science
and innovation.
Mark Walport
It seems paradoxical that, as medical scientists make huge advances in
discovering the mechanisms of common diseases, fewer and fewer innovative drugs
are reaching the market.
Mark Walport
Common sense, proportionality, and judgment are the skills we must seek in those
we choose to regulate our lives.
Mark Walport
We may know the chemical structure of medicinal drugs, but we frequently have a
very incomplete understanding of how they work.
Mark Walport
Many families would like to avoid burdening future generations with inherited
diseases such as haemophilia or severe developmental disorders. But most would
think it wrong to edit the genes that influence the 'normal' range of human
variation, from eye colour to intelligence or athletic ability.
Mark Walport
Industrialisation, mass transit, and the Internet are technological revolutions
that have reshaped lives, nations, and the planet.
Mark Walport
People have extreme beliefs about whether it is right for humans to tamper with
embryos in any way at all. Sometimes the values discussion gets conflated with
the science discussion. We shouldn't pretend we're having an argument about
science when we're having an argument about values.
Mark Walport
If you look at U.K. science, we collaborate with people across the whole world,
and it's extremely important we continue to do so in the future.
Mark Walport
As medical data has such power to deliver better understanding of disease and
better patient outcomes, it is important we find the best way of sharing it.
Mark Walport
It is a fiction to imagine that the haphazard paper chits of old are more
private than the modern digital alternative. Paper records have always presented
a security risk.
Mark Walport
Living in areas with a high population density does not need to be synonymous
with overcrowding. Manhattan has an extremely dense population and is considered
by many to be a highly desirable place to live.
Mark Walport
Like Israel, the U.K. is a democracy, and like Israel, we would never want to
muzzle political voices, whatever their opinions - and that is especially true
for universities.
Mark Walport
The U.K. is fortunate in its geographical position. We're an island. But we are
living in a completely interconnected world where disruptions in countries far
away will have major impacts.
Mark Walport
The involvement of clinicians, researchers, and, most importantly, the thousands
of people who have donated DNA samples will help us to correlate genetic
variation with individual variation in health and disease and help to deliver on
the long-term promise of the Human Genome Project.
Mark Walport

It was and has been one of the major interventions in public health, and it's
absolutely vital that people vaccinate their children.
Mark Walport
Forensic science offers great potential, as it draws on almost every discipline
and, in doing so, creates widespread opportunity for innovation.
Mark Walport
I am honoured to be appointed as the first chief executive of UKRI. My ambition
is to make UKRI the world's leading research and innovation public funding
agency.
Mark Walport
We do some experiments in humans, some in mice, and there are some questions
that can only be answered in nonhuman primates. It's true that you can't
immediately say that those experiments will translate into human health, but
nevertheless, it is obvious that having an understanding of human memory is
going to be important for human health.
Mark Walport

Forensic techniques are enormously useful in a wide range of fields outside the
criminal justice system.
Mark Walport
Science, engineering, and technology have transformed the infrastructure of the
modern world and have a vital role to play at the heart of policy making.
Mark Walport
We all want our drugs to be safe - and so an essential part of the pathway to
the development of a new drug is approval by a regulator.
Mark Walport
Banks and credit agencies learn continuously about the purchases we make. This
is convenient and diminishes the risk of theft. It also means that banks can
know more about our lifestyle than our close relatives.
Mark Walport
New technology creates a new marketplace of words, creating totally new words
and changing the meaning and application of existing ones. In doing so, it has a
potent opportunity to create new misconceptions and confusion.
Mark Walport
Science, engineering, and technology discovers and invents new ways of doing
things - but it doesn't dictate how we should do them.
Mark Walport
Sharing data allows us to research, communicate, consume media, buy and sell,
play games, and more. In return, businesses develop products, scientists
undertake research, and governments use data to enable voting, inform policies,
collect tax, and provide better public services.
Mark Walport
I've never been a proponent of something monolithic.
Mark Walport
If you look at my track record as government chief scientific advisor, I've
always recognized that all of the sciences are important to all of research, and
we need a balance.
Mark Walport
As a medical student in the 1970s, I was taught that the foundations of
diagnosis and treatment were to take a detailed history and to perform a
comprehensive clinical examination.
Mark Walport
Cities are central to the shaping and delivery of national policy objectives,
and in return, they are the places where social, environmental, and economic
policies play out in practice.
Mark Walport

My job is to advise politicians, elected officials, and government ministries of
the best way to deal with important issues, both localized, national, and the
grand challenges facing humanity.
Mark Walport
The most dangerous infections of humans have always been those which have
emerged from other species.
Mark Walport
We take it for granted that because our shelves and supermarkets are heaving
with food that there are no problems with food security. But we have limited
land in the U.K., and climate disruption and population growth are putting
pressure on food supply.
Mark Walport
Distributed ledger technologies have the potential to help governments to
collect taxes, deliver benefits, issue passports, record land registries, assure
the supply chain of goods, and generally ensure the integrity of government
records and services.
Mark Walport
Distributed ledgers are inherently harder to attack because instead of a single
database, there are multiple shared copies of the same database, so a cyber
stack would have to attack all the copies simultaneously to be successful.
Mark Walport
Science can tell us what can be done in principle, but it is then a matter for
public debate as to what should be done. And ultimately, it is a role for
politicians to decide the answers.
Mark Walport
We pretend that the debate about genetically modified crops is a debate about
science when the reality is, actually, that the science is very clear. It is
really a debate about values.
Mark Walport
There is usually a long interval between important scientific discoveries and
impact on human health.
Mark Walport
People go on exploration; they're trying to find places that weren't known
before. But it is an inevitable fact of research, as is in any other form of
exploration of the unknown, that some people find they go down a dead end.
Mark Walport
Public trust is a vital condition for artificial intelligence to be used
productively.
Mark Walport
In the case of health information, I spent twenty-five years practicing
medicine, and I was all too familiar with the fact that information wasn't
properly shared, so I wouldn't know exactly what was in the hospital records;
patients would be lost. Computerization gives the opportunity to actually get
the information much better.
Mark Walport

The principle of treating cancer is to kill the abnormally dividing cells. Many
drugs achieve this in a relatively unselective way, killing any cell that is
dividing.
Mark Walport
There is a particular set of values commonly associated with being professional.
Experience, expertise, trustworthiness, wisdom, and good judgement are all
attributes aspired to by senior professional people, be they doctors, engineers,
lawyers, civil servants, or the clergy.
Mark Walport

When governments work well, they safeguard citizens' health, well-being,
resilience and security, and they increase prosperity. To do this, they must
respond effectively to the new, the unexpected, and the game-changing.
Mark Walport
The best approach to risk is to identify and manage it.
Mark Walport

It's been an enormous privilege to be the government chief scientific adviser.
Mark Walport
Research must be central to healthcare if healthcare is to improve.
Mark Walport
An important task for government is to think about the future as well as to
learn from the past, and the Foresight Programme, run by the Government Office
for Science, helps in the development of this thinking.
Mark Walport
We are extraordinarily lucky in the U.K. to have inherited a diverse range of
cities that bear the imprints of many centuries of human habitation.
Mark Walport
Climate change is happening, and humans are significant contributors, and that
raises some really important policy questions.
Mark Walport
David Sainsbury has been good for science and good for innovation in the U.K. He
has been an outstanding science minister and shown extraordinary passion and
commitment to his portfolio.
Mark Walport
Medical engineering is one of the areas in which the traditional 'silo'
structures of university disciplines have not encouraged collaboration.
Mark Walport
We need to show why the government should be funding science and how that
funding delivers.
Mark Walport
When the correct tests are done, GM products are as safe as their non-GM
counterparts.
Mark Walport
The European Parliament must send a clear sign that it recognises the importance
of embryonic stem cell research.
Mark Walport
I was always taught at medical school that you should never do a test unless you
could do something with the result.
Mark Walport
It would be silly not to admit that there are some sections of the public who
are unconvinced by the benefits or have doubts about the motives behind it. We
have to be clear that GM is not all about profits for multinational companies.
Mark Walport
