Professor Hal Cook is the Director of The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL. In his academic work, he continues to investigate subjects related to early modern English medicine, but now gives most of his energy to medicine and natural history in the Dutch Golden Age in an attempt to reassess the relationships between the beginnings of a world-wide trading system and a world-wide exchange of information about nature.
