Soap: A state-of-the-art Weapon in the War against Coronavirus?
The COVID-19 pandemic is littered with unknowns, including those related to a cure and/or vaccine - however, one certainty is that the use of soap and water for regular handwashing is a key part of preventing the spread of the disease. This short talk will explore the reasons why, and explain why soap and water is a sophisticated weapon in the battle against the coronavirus. Dr Dan Corbett graduated from Queen's University in 2010, with a First Class Honours degree in Pharmacy, subsequently completing his pre-registration training within primary healthcare.
After registering as a Pharmacist in 2011, Dr Corbett returned to Queen’s to undertake a PhD in Biomaterials Science, and following this, has held posts within the School of Pharmacy, China Medical University-Queen's University Belfast Joint College (CQC), and is now a Lecturer (Education) in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Dr Corbett's research interests lie both in education, specifically, in relation to the education and support of international students, and the development of polymer-based medical products which exhibit properties including infection resistance. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
