From Big Physics to Small Molecules: How to Fight Disease With X-Rays
Dr. Andrey Gruzinov (@angruzinov1)

The first X-ray image was taken by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895 and shows his wife’s hand with her wedding ring. More than a century later dimensions have changed: huge rings (accelerators) which can have a circumference of several kilometres, are used to produce X-rays - they are themselves invisible but can help us visualise tiny details of the nano-world. In 20 minutes, we will go from kilometres to nanometres to find out how the tandem of biology, physics and engineering helps us understand diseases and how to fight them.
