Joining us for today's episode is Dr Jennifer Rohn, Principle Investigator at the Centre for Nephrology in the division of Medicine at UCL.

She tells us about, her very interesting and varied career path, her current quest in unnderstanding how the bacteria interact with host cells in urinary tract infections, novel antibiotic delivery methods and moral challenges within healthcare….

Dr Rohn runs a research group studying the subversive behaviour of the bacteria involved in chronic urinary tract infection. She also teaches undergraduates, is a novelist and spends her free time doing public engagement and science communication work.

In this week's episode Professor Paola Scaffidi from the Francis Crick Institute talks to us about how epigenetic factors influence cancer stem cells in cancer development, what cancer stem cells are, and what gets her up in the morning!

Professor Scaffidi is an established Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute since 2015. Her group use genome-wide mapping approaches and state-of-the-art cell biological methods in combination with advanced light microscopy techniques and in vivo approaches to characterise functionally important epigenetic traits of Cancer Stem Cells, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets.
