On Friday 6th July Professor Coleman, a Professor of Toxicology from Aston University, visited our Academy and gave a talk to A Level and Year 10 students about his work.  He spoke to them about his own career path and what led him to study toxicology.

Professor Coleman spoke about the different cells in the brain and the impact of drugs on the human brain compared with animal brains and therefore the need for testing on human cellular systems instead of animals.

Professor Coleman continued with an insight into university life and the need to learn independent study skills and to choose a course/career that interests them.  This was followed by a question and answer session as students gained an insight into the research that Professor Coleman carries out and also about University life.
