Episode 19 Professor Gerry Killeen

The podcast returns after a lengthy "Covid-inflicted" break with one of the most outspoken Irish voices of the past 15 months. Professor Gerry Killeen is the AXA Research Chair in Applied Pathogen Ecology at UCC. That's a big title, but in simple terms, Gerry is a recognised International expert in the spread of infection. After almost two decades in Africa, he says he "needed a pandemic like a hole in the head", as he was preparing tp teach the next generation of infection control students in UCC..

Award winning broadcaster, PJ Coogan asks a chosen guest for twenty minutes of their time, to look beyond what we know about them, and perhaps explore a little of what lies beneath.. New episodes drop at Midday on Saturdays.
