He read biochemistry at The University of Leeds and did his PhD work, studying the mechanism of action of a class of bacterial enzymes called DNA topoisomerases, at the University of Leicester. Upon completion of his PhD, he spent five years undertaking post-doctoral work at Harvard University, before returning to the UK as a lecturer, senior lecturer and then professor at The University of Manchester. He moved to the University of Kent in 2020 to take up the role of Deputy Vice Chancellor.</p> <p>Richard oversees the Education and Student Experience Strategy at Kent, which underpins one of the three key strategic objectives in the University Plan and looks after two large directorates - Education and Student Services. He joined the University Council as a member in August 2020 and serves as the Chair of the Board of KMTV. He chairs the University’s Sustainability Steering Group who are responsible for implementation of sustainability across the university. </p> <p>Richard’s research interests focus on the molecular mechanisms by which cells are able to alter their patterns of gene expression in response to metabolic changes in the environment. This work has involved a mixture of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and structural biology. He is deeply committed to raising the standards of teaching quality across higher education - both in the UK and across the world - and to promoting the public understanding of science. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="person-modal-partial"> <div class="person-modal-tile expandable"> <div class="person-modal__image-container"> <img class="person-modal__image" alt="Image of Professor Frank Sargent" src="/media/tgepmaeq/frank.jpeg?width=150&height=150&rnd=133576441803900000" /> </div> <div class="person-modal__details-container"> <div class="subheading-two"> Honorary Treasurer / Newcastle University </div> <h5 class="person-modal__name">Professor Frank Sargent</h5> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary person-modal__button stretched-link" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#person-modal-e4b0652a-8ea6-486c-8d00-1b5914c1b01b"> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-right-long person-modal__icon" aria-hidden="true"></i> </button> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="person-modal-e4b0652a-8ea6-486c-8d00-1b5914c1b01b" data-bs-backdrop="static" data-bs-keyboard="false" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="staticBackdropLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-scrollable modal-fullscreen"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="person-modal-full-view"> <button type="button" class="btn-close person-modal-full-view__close-button" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"> <i class="fa-solid fa-2x fa-plus" aria-hidden="true"></i> </button> <div class="person-modal-full-view__flex-container"> <div class="person-modal-full-view__profile-container bg-person-modal-indigo"> <div class="person-modal-full-view__profile-top-container"> <h1 class="person-modal-full-view__title">Professor Frank Sargent</h1> </div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__bottom-container"> <div class="person-modal-full-view__social-container"> </div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__image-container"> <img class="person-modal-full-view__image avatar" alt="Image of Professor Frank Sargent" src="/media/tgepmaeq/frank.jpeg?width=720&height=720&rnd=133576441803900000" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__about-container"> <div class="person-modal-full-view__job-details top-bottom-spacing container-lg"> <div class="person-modal-full-view__job-title subheading-one">Honorary Treasurer</div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__location subheading-one">Newcastle University</div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__line"></div> </div> <div class="person-modal-full-view__rich-text-promo-container"> <div class="umb-block-list"> <div class="rich-text-block bottom-spacing "> <div class="container-sm rich-text "> <p>Frank is the Dean of the Biosciences Institute (NUBI) and holds a Personal Chair in Microbial Biotechnology at Newcastle University.
