Description:

How do drugs work? Using chemicals to alter biological processes has been documented since recorded history began. We ingest various chemicals to alter our mood, cure disease, or simply to make our lives more comfortable, however very few people take the time to ask how these molecules work. This seminar will touch on some historical aspects of how our society has discovered and used drugs in both social and medicinal settings, but will focus on the modern day process by which new drugs are identified.
