Researcher Spotlights

Meet the people behind the science.

Our research spans the breadth of biological, health and life sciences; from how plant and molecular cells communicate and interact, to the role of physical activity in human health, to the development of new ways to treat infectious diseases. 

The Researcher Spotlight series introduces you to some of the people behind this work. In conversation, they share the questions driving their research, what inspires them and how their findings are making a difference in the world.
