Denis Noble – The Cutting Edge of Biology

Denis Noble CBE FRS FRCP FMedSci has a veritable alphabet soup after his name. It’s kind of hard to pronounce, and it always becomes a point of conversation for him.

And then the first to explain it to everyone else.

“I think what we’re witnessing at the moment is quite a fundamental change in the way in which biology is viewed,” says Noble.

There is still late-breaking news in gene mutation and selection in the field. There’s still a lot to figure out.
