The Science Show 09/02/2013 – DifiniGEN clones and sells liver cells

DifiniGEN is a new Cambridge company that can grow liver cells to test if new drugs are harmful. In this podcast, their CEO Dr Marcus Yeo explains how this technology comes from the Nobel Prize winning work of Cambridge university’s Sir John Gurdon. He says that there’s a seriously possible use for organ replacement in the future. See www.definigen.com

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge 105 Radio is the Community broadcaster for the city and South Cambridgeshire.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
