MRC talksCareer inspirations: Chris Ponting, computational biologistProfessor Chris Ponting, computational biologist, is interviewed by Isabel Harding.
Chris gave up biology at the age of 16 to focus on physics. But after finishing his Masters, he changed his mind and decided to follow his gut instinct – going back into biology via a degree in biophysics. He then specialised in bioinformatics and genomics.
Chris and his team are looking at ways to improve human health, and find new ways to treat disease, by looking at how single letter changes in our DNA affect our disease risk.
At the intersection between population scale and molecular data, Chris leads a fellow’s pr...2019-07-0300 minMRC talksCareer inspirations: Caroline Relton, population health scientistCaroline Relton, population health scientist, is interviewed by Debs Barber.
Today she’s a highly-respected scientist and research group leader, but Caroline first set off down another career path. Caroline’s love of science led her to study for a degree in applied biology and nutritional science, followed by the pursuit of a different passion – teaching.
Ultimately, after completing her PGCE and teaching in a secondary school for five years, she decided that academia was her true calling and returned to university to do a PhD in molecular genetics.
Caroline and her research group use the tools and methods of popula...2019-06-0500 minMRC talksCareer inspirations: Toby Jenkins, biophysical chemistToby Jenkins, biophysical chemist, is interviewed by Petra Kiviniemi.
Professor Toby Jenkins is fascinated by bacterial and fungal infection of humans, particularly wounds and bladders. When beginning his research, he’d assumed that all clinicians and microbiologists understood what was happening in an infected wound. But the more he drilled into the subject, the more he realised how little we understand about infection.
Using his love of building things and science, he’s creating materials and medical devices that detect infection. He’s also designing systems that can control the release of drugs to combat disease.
His interdisciplinary team consists of mat...2019-05-0800 minMRC talksCareer inspirations: Mark Skehel, technology specialistMark Skehel, technology specialist, is interviewed by Isabel Harding.
A born scientist – thanks to his father’s influence – Mark has a job that allows him to play with big bits of equipment, as well as do his own biomedical research.
His high-tech instruments help fellow scientists identify proteins from complex biological mixtures. ‘Mass spectrometry’ – or ‘mass spec’ for short – is a sensitive technique used to detect, identify and measure molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio.

Director of the Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine at King's College London, Fiona is fascinated by stem cells – cells that give rise to all cell types in our bodies.

She looks at something that matters to us all but is notoriously hard to study: the food we eat and how it affects our health.
