Dr Neville Cobbe

Neville latterly studied divinity at Queen’s University Belfast, pursuant to a prior research career in genetics and molecular cell biology, and currently works with the Church of Ireland and Methodist Chaplaincy Belfast.

He worked for several years at the Universities of Edinburgh and Liverpool, maintaining a sustained record of public engagement and youth-work throughout both his academic career and subsequent lay ministry with various churches, typically speaking to diverse audiences on either the use of fruit flies in cancer research, bioethical topics or the relations between science and faith (with a longstanding interest especially in evolution), as well as preaching and leading services in various denominations.
