Professor Ash Toye is back for another episode! Ash introduces us to the world of SPINOUTS, where scientists aim to put their ideas into the world. We talk about his journey setting up Scarlet Therapeutics Ltd, a biotechnology company based in Science Creates (Bristol). They aim to use red blood cells as MINIATURE VEHICLES to deliver DRUGS to people with certain diseases.
Can you make red blood cells better at their job? How did Ash come up with the company name? Can you generate rainbow coloured blood?
