Conclusion: How Chemistry Research Impacts Human Health

Jul 19th, 2013 2m 29s

Wrapping up this series on human health, Dr Emily Flashman talks about her work studying the mechanisms by which our bodies respond to low levels of oxygen. She discusses why she finds the interface of chemistry and human health an exciting and

Practical Uses of NMR: Exploring Enzymes to Fight Disease

Jul 19th, 2013 4m 51s

The mutant enzymes that cause disease in our bodies can be combated by chemical inhibitors if we understand how these molecules are interacting. Dr Ivanhoe Leung shows how Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) can be used to study enzymes in three c

Lasers, Cell Membranes, and the Basis of Life

Jul 19th, 2013 5m 20s

Being a chemist doesn't have to mean giving up on biology and physics. Dr Mark Wallace and postdoc Dr Matt Baker use lasers, fluorescent tagging, and other interdisciplinary techniques to study cell membrane interactions and better understand t

Synthesizing Anti-Cancer Drugs from Nature

Jul 19th, 2013 7m 29s

Chemicals found in nature can have incredibly useful functionality, including anti-malarial and anti-cancer properties. However, they are usually found in small amounts. Chris Jones, a DPhil student in the Donohoe Group, is synthesizing natural
