Why are our radishes on prozac? Who holds the key to unlock the final barriers to tackle HIV? How might we turn CO2 into a safe fuel? These are just some of the questions being tackled by researchers in the UK. 

Welcome to Next Generation Research, the podcast that introduces you to the best researchers and most interesting research happening right now. These researchers are all part of the Future Leaders Fellowship, a scheme that brings together and supports the best of the next generation of researchers in academia and industry.

Join Cambridge University Professor Giles Yeo as he takes you behind the scenes, to find out more about the ground breaking research that's shaping how we'll live tomorrow. Giles will introduce you to a different researcher in each episode, giving you insight into how their research is done, why it matters and how it has the potential to impact you one day. We'll be going all around the world from Harare, Zimbabwe to Cardiff, Wales and back via Apia, Samoa.

This is a series all about sharing research initiatives that are going on right now, you don't have to dig through the journals or attend the conferences. If you would like to meet the people and ideas behind the most innovative research in the country, subscribe now so the episodes are delivered to you as soon as they're released.
