Early life and education

Brockes was born in Haslemere, Surrey. He attended Winchester College, and then earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Cambridge and a PhD in molecular biology from University of Edinburgh, where he studied in the laboratory of the late Kenneth Murray and Noreen Murray. He did post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School and University College London, where he worked under Martin Raff.

After completing postgraduate work, Brockes conducted research at California Institute of Technology, King's College London and University College London. He studied cellular interactions in the mammalian peripheral nervous system, and the mechanisms underlying limb regeneration in salamanders.

gollark: So that's 5/8.

gollark: Well, you still have to half-learn the 1/4 of chemistry.

gollark: Thus, learn entire subject ever‽‽‽

gollark: Oh, you mean you don't know 1/4 of 3 of the subjects, not that you don't know all of one of the subjects.
