This lecture to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry will describe how molecules isolated from Nature have played a key role in many human activities from magic through to drugs.
It will illustrate how chemistry and chemists have developed some of the modern medicines that society now depends on and which have enhanced life expectancy so spectacularly in the last 100 years. Professor Keith Jones of CRUK Cancer Therapeutics Unit at The Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton will present this lecture hosted at Imperial College London as part of a series of lectures organised by the SCI Fine Chemicals Group for IYC 2011.
