This year marks the 40th anniversary of his discovery of genomic imprinting - the process in which specific genes are tagged, turning them on or off at the very earliest stage of life. Surani has transformed scientific understanding of the different contributions of maternal and paternal genes to development in mammals, and how these genes are regulated. The resulting field of epigenetics has now exploded - and his discovery holds wide-ranging potential, from treating human disease to saving endangered species. Professor Azim Surani, Director of Germline and Epigenetics Research at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge tells us about his journey of discovery.

O'Keeffe has discovered that the earliest brass bands were invented by soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars, making them even older than we’ve been led to believe. His research also undermines the idea that brass bands were a civilian and exclusively northern creation. Dr O'Keeffe is a National Army Museum Junior Research Fellow at Queens' College, Cambridge and part of the University’s Centre for Geopolitics. He has twice been an expert on the BBC’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ programme. The film features a specially recorded performance by The Harrogate Band and numerous historic images.
