Models and Mechanisms: Aspects of Biomedicine at UCL in the Twentieth Century - VideoTilli Tansey Author: UCL
This was my inaugural lecture on 9th March 2009. It was a selective look at some of the biomedical research done at UCL (and occasionally elsewhere by people who became important at UCL) since 1894 up until 2009. It includes the discovery of adrenaline by Oliver and Schafer; the impact of the valve amplifier invented by Ambrose Fleming; studies of the cell membrane by Davson and Danielli in the chemistry department; the discovery of the squid giant axon by J Z Young, and a longer discussion of his role at UCL and the development of neuroscience here; the later work of Burnstock in particular and also Moncada on inter- and intra- cell communication; and also raises a list of numerous other people, places and work that were not included.
