Steve Hodgkinson

Dr Steve Hodgkinson’s day job is as a biomedical scientist researching biopharmaceutical and nutritional approaches for optimising health. His main focus is on translating academic science into products and services that are useful and make a difference.

Steve has an interest in finding engaging new ways to communicate the complex role science plays in modern society. Although he has over 180 scientific publications and patents to his name, Unearthed is his first work of fiction.

Steve has a love of New Zealand and the environment. He grew up in Christchurch, spent several years on the big ‘OE’ in Europe and now lives on a lifestyle block on the banks of the Waikato River. He is married with two adult daughters. Steve has a love of motorcycles, classical and modern, and when not exploring back country roads with his friends he enjoys cooking and trout fishing.
