  • Summary

  • Drug discovery is a tough endeavour - but could nature offer a helping hand? I spoke to Steve Trim, Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of https://venomtech.co.uk (Venomtech) to find out why some of the world's deadliest creatures hold the key to pharmaceutical success. Taking in poisonous snails, spiders, snakes and arthropods - this episode isn't for the squeamish... but it is an absolute cracker. And if you wanted to have a look at some of the things we speak about, please do watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lku5ksWTHfk (this video) we made a few years back at Steve's lab. I mean, who wouldn't want to see how you anaesthetise a scorpion?
