We return this week to another interview recorded before lockdown.

PhD student Christopher Lambert interviews Dr José Silva, a group leader at the Welcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. Dr Silva tells us about his career path from PhD to group leader and his current research in cellular reprogramming. They discuss the importance of collaboration in basic research and the need for a long-term, step-wise approach to progress the field of cellular reprogramming. Dr Silva also looks to the future, talking about his move into creating synthetic embryos.
