March 17 – Plants to Drugs: Discover How Nature Powers Research at URI

Join us for a virtual tour of the Heber W. Youngken Jr. Medicinal Garden live from the College of Pharmacy greenhouse and a pharmacognosy research laboratory. Learn about plants that keep us healthy, from sources of molecules developed into pharmaceuticals to the origins of the ingredients in your herbal tea. Watch a demonstration of how whole plant extractions are done, and see the instruments that are used to identify and describe the individual constituents.

November 5 – From Plants to Pure Drugs (MOCK CLASS)

Instructor: Matt Bertin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor

Did you know that over 50% of the drugs used in our clinics come from natural sources such as plants, bacteria, and fungi? Researchers at the University of Rhode Island are very interested in finding new drugs from these natural sources. These scientists use very specific experiments to find and purify these potential  drugs. This lesson will teach you about some of these experiments and it will show the path from a plant to a pure drug.

Dr. Matt Bertin, an assistant professor in the College of Pharmacy is a “Natural Product Chemist” whose research laboratory tries to find new drugs from marine algae. He will showcase the machines and instruments in the College of Pharmacy that make it possible to go from a plant in the garden to a drug in a vial.
