     Welcome to Fieldlab. With interests in biology, gastronomy, graphics, images and music, Fieldlab was founded in South London in the early 1990s by me, Mark C. Field, and is currently located in Cambridge, UK. My origins are in Hackney and I have the honour of being a true Cockney. I was educated at The Judd School in Tonbridge, Kent and Corpus Christi College, Oxford, awarded first-class honours in Biochemistry and remaining at Oxford for doctoral studies. My postdoctoral career was intially at the Rockefeller University in New York and then Genentech and Stanford University in California. I established a research group at Imperial College London in the 1990s, moved to the University of Cambridge in 2005 and the University of Dundee in 2013, retiring as Professor Emeritus in late 2025. I have authored over 600 research articles and abstracts, am proud of an unbroken thirty five year publication record and have collaborated with many scientists in the UK, EU, North and South America, Africa and Asia.

     I am Editor in Chief of Nucleus and Chief Speciality Editor for Molecular and Cellular topics in Frontiers in Parasitology. I have served on the Medical Research Council Infection and Immunity Board, Wellcome Trust Expert Reading Group, the National Science Centre (Poland), as an external advisor at Charles University, Prague, external examiner at the University of Glasgow and the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, University of Cambridge and University of Cork, Ireland, the council of the British Society for Parasitology and as board member for CamPOD, a charity in Cambridge. On stepping away from directing a laboratory in 2025 my emphasis shifted to the arts and generation of electronic- and guitar-based ambient/post-rock music, photography, supporting folks in their careers and feeble political activism (mainly shouting at the radio). I currently live in central Cambridge with my partner, a cat collective and a music/photography studio.
