Name: Bugs and Drugs
Start: 2017-05-17T
End: 2017-05-17T
Location: Turl Street Kitchen

Two fascinating scientists will talk about their research on inflammation - how saliva has the potential to treat rare diseases, and how we can look at disease using maths. Plus, Pint of Science pint glasses, t-shirts and other goodies to be won! (Please note: event located on the first floor, only accessible via stairs.)

Saviour saliva

Shoumo Bhattacharya (BHF Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine)

Shuomo Bhattacharya will talk about his reseach focusing on new anti-inflammatory drugs identified from tick saliva. These may have the potential to treat diseases, such as myocarditis.

Disease dynamics

Angela McLean (Professor of Mathematical Biology)

Angela will discuss her research exploring the evolution and spread of infectious agents, such as HIV and HCV, and how the use of mathematical models can help us to understand both the dynamics of infections and immune responses within individual hosts as well as the spread of infections from one host to another.
