The Science Behind Plant Medicines with Geoffrey W. Abbott

  • Sgt. Pepperoni's 4533 Campus Drive Irvine, CA, 92612 United States (map)

Ever hear about a folk remedy and wonder, "does that actually work?" Heck, maybe you know of a few that you swear by. Thing is, some plants really do have medicinal properties! Drugs work because chemicals interact with your ion channels.  UC Irvine Biophysics Professor Geoff W. Abbott, Ph.D. is all about searching for these plants and chemicals. Join us as he tells us about new therapies and plant hunting with cute doggos!
