Professor Griffin speaking at a Think Kent event

Another opportunity to listen to the popular and revealing Nostalgia Interviews podcast, hosted by Dr Chris Deacy and featuring Kent academics.

On this occasion, Dr Deacy, Reader in Theology and Religious Studies and host of the Nostalgia Interviews podcast, speaks with Darren Griffin, Professor of Genetics and Director of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of Reproduction at the University of Kent.

In this podcast, Professor Griffin speaks of growing up in Leeds and in the same village as Alan Bennett, remembering the glam rock era, the concept of the absentminded professor and having achieved high school dreams.

Professor Darren Griffin is professor of Genetics at Kent’s School of Biosciences. He joined the school in 2004. His main interests are in the study of chromosomes, principally in humans (from spermatogenesis to preimplantation development) and birds. Other interests include allelic variation and its relationship to fatness and studies relating to eLearning. In 2007 he became a BBSRC Career Development Fellow with a remit to exploit microarray technology for studies of copy number variation in birds and humans.
