                      For millennia, humans have looked to the sea to find medicines. Today, medical treatments that come from the ocean have been clinically approved for the treatment of pain, cancers and Alzheimer’s disease, to name but a few. In this episode of the Tiny Matters podcast, hosts Sam Jones and Deboki Chakravarti are tackling marine natural products, compounds like proteins, fats and other molecules that marine species produce and that us humans are hoping to utilise to treat the illnesses that currently affect us.

                      Listen to this episode here.

                      From molecules to microbes, Tiny Matters is a science podcast about the little things that have a big impact on our world. Every other Wednesday, join hosts and former scientists Sam Jones and Deboki Chakravarti as they answer questions like, 'what is a memory?', 'is sugar actually addictive?' and 'are we alone in the universe?'
