MRSi 2020: Fire & Ice: Hot Topics & Cool Technology in Reproductive Medicine
Darren Griffin, PhD
Professor Darren Griffin received his BSc and DSc degrees from the University of Manchester and his PhD from University College London. After postdoctoral stints at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Cambridge he landed his first academic post at Brunel University, before settling at the University of Kent, nearly 20 years ago. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, the Royal Society of Biology and the Royal Society of Arts and is President of the International Chromosome and Genome Society. A world leader in cytogenetics, he performed the first successful cytogenetic PGT and played a significant role in the development of Karyomapping, an approach he now applies to cattle and pigs. He has co-authored ~400 scientific publications, mainly on the cytogenetics of reproduction and evolution, recently providing insight into the karyotypes of dinosaurs. He is a prolific science communicator, a part time TV presenter and an enthusiastic proponent of interdisciplinary research endeavour. He has supervised 40 PhD students to completion and his work appears consistently in the media. He runs a vibrant research lab of ~25 people (including a programme of externally supervised students) and maintains commercial interests relating to the outcomes of research findings.
