Dr Lee Rayfield was educated at the University of Southampton, where he gained a Bachelor of Science (BSc) honours degree in Biology in 1978. He then studied for his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree from St Mary's Hospital Medical School (Paddington, Greater London), being awarded his doctorate in 1981, after which he remained as a post-doctoral researcher until 1984. His final medical post was as a lecturer in immunology at UMDS. In 1991 he began studying for the ministry, and became the Bishop of Swindon, the sole suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Bristol, in 2005.

Dr Robert Knight studied for a PhD in Molecular Evolution at the University of Reading before changing directions and pursuing postdoctoral research in the field of musculoskeletal development at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Sheffield. He moved to King’s College London as a BBSRC David Phillips Fellow in 2007 and his group is focused on the signals that direct the complex behaviour of progenitor cells during development of the vertebrate head. His current focus is to determine how progenitor cells are controlled during tissue regeneration and identify the factors that control them, using in vivo imaging and genetic manipulations.

Dr Stephen Patrick is a cell biologist with a focus on molecular imaging. He completed his B.Sc. in Cell Biology at the University of Durham in 2009 and completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2013, working on the development of novel genetic reporters for MRI, SPECT, and Bioluminescence imaging. Stephen is now a research associate at the Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (CABI) at UCL, working on developing in vivo cell tracking techniques for use in stem cells.

The Klein lab is interested in understanding how organs form in the embryo and how they renew and regenerate in the adult. Their research is centered on understanding how development and regeneration normally occur in the hope of one day treating diseases that result from abnormalities in these processes. If you want to find out more about Ophir and the lab please follow the link to http://klein.ucsf.edu/welcome-klein-lab

Speak to you next week!
