How much do you really know about the drugs you take? We invite you to understand the science of addiction with Dr Lorna Nisbet, an expert in forensic toxicology. Or do you want to know more about one of the most common drugs? Dr Giorgia De Paol explores the hidden dangers of paracetamol. And finally, Dr Nigel McLean reveals how innovations, taken straight from the University of Dundee, make it to market.

We'll be joined by the following speakers:

Dr Lorna Nisbet (Principal Investigator for Forensic Toxicology at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science, and Programme Lead for the MSc in Drug Analysis and Toxicology programme), 'What’s In Your Drugs? The Mystery of the Modern Drug Market'.

Dr Nigel McLean (Translation Manager for Tay Health Tech), 'A Pint-Sized Look at a Big Problem: From Pills to Pacemakers - Why Innovation Isn't Cheap (and Definitely Not a Happy Hour)'

Dr Giorgia De Paol (Lecturer School of Health Sciences), 'Take some Paracetamol'.
