BC Medicinal Researchers on WNYC

The Fine Art of Medicinal Chemistry, a feature story in the spring issue of Brooklyn College Magazine (page 13), was the subject of the Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC on Monday, July 27, 2009.

BC Chemistry professors María Contel, Roberto Sánchez-Delgado, and Richard Magliozzo talked about the balance scientists must strike among the human, technical, and financial resources available to them for their ground-breaking research. While Magliozzo explained his decade-long work on antibiotic resistance, Contel and Sánchez-Delgado shed light on their use of metals to find alternative treatments against cancer and malaria, respectively. BC alum Lopate, ’67, has been hosting his midday show since 1985. The segment is 40 minutes long.
