DHT to showcase 3D computer modelling at the British Science Festival

The Dr Hadwen Trust (DHT) will be present at the British Science Festival, held in and around Birmingham city centre and Aston University from the 14-19 September 2010, to highlight its work and demonstrate new cutting edge research methodologies.

The Science team will be exhibiting from the 14-16 September in the Great Hall, Aston University together with Professor Paul Furlong, a DHT grant holder. Professor Furlong is the Professor of Clinical Neuroimaging and MEG Laboratory Director at the Neurosciences Research Institute, part of the Aston Brain Centre, a world-leading centre of excellence in neuroimaging techniques.

At the festival, the DHT will have an interactive display which will show how 3D representations of molecules such as proteins can be investigated by scientists to identify their structure and function, and also model drugs and treatments.

The British Science Festival takes place each year and focuses on many aspects of science, technology and engineering, highlighting the best of British Science in all fields. Other activities at the Festival will include debates, talks, demonstrations, plays, and films that provide a wealth of opportunity to learn more about modern science.

To find out more about the DHT and the cutting edge research it funds to replace the need for animals in medical research, visit the Neuroimaging Stand, part of the Body in Health and Disease exhibition.
