Genetics and obesity, with Dr Giles Yeo

In this episode of the BlueSci Podcast, Mark and Ruby speak to Dr Giles Yeo, a Principal Research Associate at the MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, based at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the study of obesity, brain control of body weight and genetic influences on appetitive behaviour, and is helping to understand the link between genetics, appetite and body weight.

Dr Yeo completed his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and later did his PhD in genetics at the University of Cambridge. He is prolific in science communication, having presented documentaries for BBC Horizon, as well as having appeared on other TV and radio programmes. He has also written two books, and presents his own podcast.
