Chemistry for the Future: Human Health

3D Printing and The Structure of Proteins

Using 3D printed molecules, Rok Sekirnik, a DPhil student in the emerging field of chemical biology, shows how protein structures can be determined in some of the Department's most distinctive looking labs.
Chemistry for the Future: Human Health

Epigenetics and New Anti-Cancer Treatments

At the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine, Cyrille Thinnes, a DPhil student in the Schofield Group, shares his research into the next generation of anti-cancer treatments.
Chemistry for the Future: Human Health

Introduction: How Chemistry Research Impacts Human Health

To truly understand disease, we need to understand the underlying chemical processes that direct human biology. Dr Emily Flashman introduces some of the research in the Department of Chemistry that will help improve our health in future.

Plants and People: Cotton, Sugar and Quinine

A lecture given by Timothy Walker to biology undergraduates as part of the Plants and People Course in which the close relationship between these three plants and human history are examined.
Plant Conservation

Plant conservation 4: there is no technical obstacle to the conservation of every plant species.

The fourth in a series of four lectures on the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) given to third year biology undergraduates. This lecture looks at how, despite recent advances, there are still gaps in our knowledge about plant conservation.
Plant Conservation

Plant Conservation 3: repairing the damage

The third in a series of four lectures on the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) given to third year biology undergraduates. This lecture looks at how we can restore plant communities to biological health.
Plant Conservation

Plant Conservation 2: protecting plant species

The second in a series of four lectures on the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) given to third year biology undergraduates. This lecture looks at how threatened species can be protected.
