SUMMARY:Potions and Pills: A Brief History of Poisoning
DESCRIPTION:There has always been a fascination with poisons; a toadstool that can kill\, or Shakespearian potions for murder and suicide. Prof Francesco Falciani from the University of Liverpool will take us on a journey from man’s earliest “experiments” with poisons (usually on their enemies or less favoured relatives!)\, through how industrial and social revolutions required a scientific approach to ensure better human health\, to the possibilities of a future of safe\, tailor-made drugs and products. The Universities in Liverpool are at the forefront of radical new research that is improving safety and removing the need for animal experimentation in these areas. Our speaker\, Prof Falciani\, is in high demand across the world for his expertise applying modern molecular biological approaches to the ancient study of toxicology. This talk will start in the past\, but certainly end up with a glimpse of the future.\nPlease note: We intend to start the talk at 6.30pm and have the supper after the talk. This is in response to Proprietors wanting earlier events and\, of course\, those needing to get back to Wirral by train…
