Roche resources
Roche, the Swiss healthcare company, has created this collection of resources to give some context to how science in school can be linked to the development of drugs.
Some of the activities relate directly to a subject area in science such as disease transmission, the problem with anti-biotic resistant bacteria, the stages in drug development and separation techniques. All of these have introductory videos, hosted by Roche employees, and activities which pupils can complete.
There is also a set of videos highlighting the many job roles involved in clinical drug trials showing that not all scientists work in laboratories.
