Why does disease only target certain people? How do we make new treatments for that disease? Does your postcode alter the treatment you get? These are all questions that will be answered at Pint of Science: Drugs and Bugs! Find out about how microbes can become resistant to treatment.

Learn about the struggles to find new treatments for malaria from the scientists at Dundee working on it. How cutting-edge drug design techniques are being utilised to develop these treatments and discover new and improved drug targets.

- Dr Helen Callaby (Clinician specialising in Infectious Diseases), 'From Petri Dishes to Parliament'.

- Dr Dylan Lynch, (Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Dundee), 'Molecular Recyclers'.
