Our June podcast episode is Consultant Forensic Pathologist Dr Matt Cieka. Matt works for police forces across the South East of England. He also performs coroner’s post mortem examinations to assist in the investigation of non-suspicious deaths. Matt trained at Keele University in Staffordshire before working as a junior doctor in Scotland. His initial pathology training was undertaken in the South West of England before he moved to Liverpool to undergo specialist training in forensic pathology. 

Matt is keen to dispel the myths surrounding forensic pathology that are often portrayed in the media - he has never (yet) had to wrestle with a suspect at a crime scene! Away from work Matt enjoys keeping fit and cooking.

In part one, Dr Matt Cieka tells us about his career as a Consultant Forensic Pathologist, shedding light on the differences between his role and the portrayal of forensic pathologists in popular television shows.

Meena is an Emerita Professor of Medical Genetics at Cardiff University, an honorary Professor of Practice at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, a visiting Professor at Ganga Ram Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research in Delhi and an international advisor for the organisation of rare diseases, India.

She has made substantial contributions to the molecular understanding of genetic conditions, including Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

When Meena was growing up in India, she didn’t have an interest in genetics or pathology, or even a plan to pursue an academic career. In this episode, find out what changed and how she came to have such a successful and fulfilling career in the UK, all while navigating the challenges of life in a new country and juggling the responsibilities of parenthood.

In part two of our interview with Consultant Dermatopathologist, Dr Bipin Mathew, Bipin talks about BAP1-inactivated melanocytomas (BIMs). His interest in these entities stem from the increased understanding that molecular pathology has given pathologists in diagnosing these melanocytomatic tumours. Bipin talks about some of the fascinating cases of BIMs he has seen in his work, and the team who he works with on diagnosing them and recommending treatment.
