Chemistry: Developing New Medicines – University Seminar With Dr James Taylor From University of Bath

22nd March 2022 @ 15:35 - 16:20

 

 

 

This talk will give an overview into how new medicines are developed.

We will discuss the different stages of drug discovery, from how to find potential new drug molecules through to compound testing in clinical trials.

You will see how chemistry is essential throughout this process, but also how chemists must work closely with many other scientists and people in other fields before a new medicine can be released.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A session both on the topic and on studying chemistry at university.

 

The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university seminar.

 

Lecturer Profile (Please Click): Dr James Taylor is a Lecturer in Drug Discovery at the University of Bath. He is originally from North Devon and was the first person in his family to attend university.


 

Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom, or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be provided afterwards, where available.

 

Suitable for: Key Stage 5, and equivalent, students studying or with an interest in studying Chemistry and related subjects. Teachers and members of school staff, as always, are welcome too and participants can join as individuals from school/college or home, or as a group from school/college.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: No specific preparation or pre-reading is required although students may like to consider some of the key issues and questions they might like to ask.

The IT Setup: The event will be run on Bluejeans and participants will be able to join using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the university via a microphone and/or typed comments and questions. Full details will be sent to those who have registered (see below) prior to the event.
