Location: The Rugby Tavern

This night is about all things miniature, but there are big ideas involved! Come along and hear from Adam and Henriques about how the tiny things in life may well be the most important. Please note that this event takes place on the first floor only accessible by stairs.

Antibiotic Resistance – A Moving Story

Dr Adam Roberts

Focussing on antibiotic resistance in bacteria, Adam will highlight the causes of the resistance problem we currently face, how resistance emerges, how it spreads and what, if anything can we do about it. He will conclude with a dystopian vision of the world without antibiotics; a situation getting rapidly closer.

A Nanoscale View into Cells Through Super-Resolution Microscopy

Dr Henriques Ricardo

DNA, RNA and protein, part of the central molecules of biology, typically exist at dimensions of a few nanometers, well beyond the resolving power of conventional fluorescent microscopy (~300 nm). Super-resolution microscopy techniques (~30nm) hold to date the record in resolving power for light microscopy. In this talk, Henriques will introduce how super-resolution is revolutionising cell biology, achieving the potential to resolve and identify cellular elements never seen before.
