PHARMACOLOGY AND SPACE SCIENCE

Dr Julie Keeble is senior lecturer in pharmacology at Kings College London in the faculty of medicine and life sciences. She is part of the aerospace medicine and extreme physiology group at KCL. Dr Keeble has sent over 30 experiments to space in her role with ISSET as a chief scientist. Her role in sending student experiments to the ISS as part of the science research rotation performed by astronauts has been life changing both in its results for the world but also for the prospects and inspiration of hundreds of teenagers that get this opportunity. Her research has included capsaicin, the element in chillies that we enjoy so much in our food, and its utility in medicine.

One of my own teams won the ISSET competition in 2022 and seeing that experiment launch to space last year was something I will never forget. Dr Keeble is a popular lecturer and world class scientist and I am delighted to bring our conversation to you.
