Inaugural Lecture by Professor Bridget Stocker
Join Professor Bridget Stocker for her inaugural lecture about targeting diseases the organic way.
Targeting diseases the organic way
Organic is the way to go—that is, unless you mention you are an Organic Chemist at a party, or at your kid’s gymnastics class. Your newly found conversationalist stops talking, their face goes blank, or worse, they quietly admit that organic chemistry was the topic in Chemistry that they truly failed in high school. But Organic Chemistry does not need to be given such bad press.
In her inaugural lecture, Professor Stocker will explain why she was attracted to the beauty of Organic Chemistry and how she and her research team use organic molecules to modify the immune response and develop therapeutics for a variety of diseases. By the end of the lecture, she guarantees that you will be one step closer to acing your Organic Chemistry exam.
