About this listen

In this episode, we’re delighted to welcome Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith. Anne is a globally recognised expert in mammalian genetics and epigenetics, and currently holds the Arthur Balfour Professorship of Genetics at Cambridge. Her research investigates how epigenetic mechanisms regulate genome function, with a focus on how genetic and environmental factors influence development, health, and disease. She is also the Executive Chair of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the former Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and International Partnerships at the University of Cambridge.

In this conversation, Anne shares insights into her journey into science, the vital role of epigenetics in understanding complex biological systems, and her leadership path in research and policy.

This episode was recorded a while ago, so some of the information may be out of date.
