Pembroke 400 Festival: Advances in Medicine

29th June 2024 marked the 400th anniversary of the signing of the 1624 Pembroke charter by King James I. We celebrated at Pembroke with a Festival showcasing 400 years of research, impact and community, featuring talks and panel discussions with alumni, academics and students, covering topics from AI, medicine and conservation to translation and human rights.
In this session, Chief Medical Officer Professor Sir Chris Whitty gives a tour of recent advances in medicine, and Pembroke Biochemists Professor Andre Furger (Tanaka Fellow in Biology) and Alex Welch (DPhil candidate) present their work on mRNA based therapeutics.
