Introducing our brand new series
"Get to know our members"
Peter Doherty
Tea or coffee?
Black coffee till 1PM, then black tea.
Sweet or savoury?
Both: eat just about everything: savoury first, generally.

Which immune cell is your favourite?
The killer T cell, of course.
As a child, what did you want to ...
