In this episode, we're joined by Venomtech Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Steve Trim, for a lesson on the use of venoms in drug discovery and other fields! He explains the many uses of animal venom including cosmetics and crop protection. Also, Trim shares the story of the Ventomtech exclusive hot sauce that simulated a venomous spider bite!

Key Learning Points:

  • Why venom isn't widely used for drug development
  • What the ethical implications of using venoms are
  • What you need to know to use venom in your own research

About Steve Trim:
Trim is the Founder and CSO of Venomtech, where he leads the scientific efforts to produce automation-compatible biological libraries, targeted to drug discovery therapeutic areas to maximize hit potential and a wide range of biopesticides. He founded Venomtech to deliver value to drug discovery programs struggling to find novel lead material after 10 years as a pharmaceutical molecular biologist and safety delegate, followed by a research associate position in a comparative genomics lab.
