He is also an advisor to the board of Stanmore Implants, a spinout from UCL, a civilian advisor in orthopaedics to the Royal Air Force, and Orthopaedic Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen.

As chair and clinical lead of Orthopaedics, Professor Cobb leads a team of surgeons, investigators and educators to train students in surgical skills and the use of IC developed computer-based and robotic technologies to improve outcomes. He has pioneered computer-assisted and robotic surgery for 15 years, with his department at the centre of a revolution in orthopaedics, optimising hip and knee replacement function through accurate and precise 3D positioning. This involved educating surgeons from around the world and performing operations at Charing Cross and a newly opened centre for the analysis of problem metal-on-metal hip replacements.

Professor Cobb studied medicine at Magdalen College Oxford, graduating in 1982. He trained in Oxford, London and Brighton, writing his master's thesis on Prognostic factors in operable osteosarcoma. In 1991 he was appointed consultant orthopaedic surgeon at The Middlesex Hospital.
