About Dr. Francis Collins
Francis Collins is one of the world’s leading scientists and geneticists. After heading an international collaboration that first mapped the entire human genome, he was appointed to Director of the National Institutes of Health in 2008, where he has been overseeing the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2006, Collins wrote the best-selling book The Language of God. It tells the story of his journey from atheism to Christian belief, showing that science actually enhances faith. The tremendous response to the book prompted Collins to found BioLogos—an organization that reaches millions around the world, where he is now a Senior Fellow.

Francis Collins For me, as a believer who’s also a scientist, the vaccine seems like a gift from God. This is God’s grace that has given us the ability to understand how this works, and to be able to design an approach. And it feels like God is giving us a chance to be his healers.
