DARREN, Nash, J.

Darren J. Nash holds an MBA from the University of Oxford, and a BSc (Hons) from Oxford Brookes University. He has supported medical research for almost 25 years at the University of Oxford. He is the Associate Head of the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford, and a Director of three university subsidiary companies. This support has been at a global level as he is responsible for research infrastructures not only in the UK but also in China, Africa, South East Asia and Latin America. For the past decade, he has been successfully supporting and developing collaborative research in Hong Kong and across China. His experiences in medical research have led to the creation of poetry as an ‘aide memoir’ as he admits to having a terrible memory and used poetry as a mechanism to remember the science his colleagues have attempted to educate him about in the past 25 years. He remains grateful for their patience. He lives and works in Oxford. This is his first published poetry collection.
