In this episode of the Academic Armchair we chat to Stuart Conway, Professor of organic chemistry at the University of Oxford.  We learn how chemistry can help us better understand biological systems, from the epigenetics of cancer, to drug targeting using light activated molecules. He also tells us about the exciting new interdisciplinary PhD programme (Chemistry in Cells) he has set up to train the next generation of budding scientists in his field.  If he wasn't a chemist, he'd be a rock star - tune in to find out more!
