Title: Chemistry in the Service of Biomedicine: Using Light to Control Biology and the Delivery of Therapeutics

Featured speaker: Simon Friedman, Ph.D., Curators' Distinguished Professor of Pharmacy, University of Missouri-Kansas City

Simon Friendman and his team have developed chemical tools that allow them to control the spacing, timing and degree of gene expression using light. They also have used light to control the release of therapeutics, allowing continuous variability with minimal invasiveness. Their work lies at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine to answer critical questions and address important therapeutic needs.

Live presentation is in Room 3301, Health Sciences Building, UMKC campus.
