Antiviral roller skating! | British Science Festival 2025
Friday 12th September
Run time: 18.30 – 19:15
Throwback: it’s summer 2020, lockdowns are looming, you’ve bought yourself a pair of roller skates to cure your boredom…
Swoop over to see the Liverpool Roller Birds dance against an amazing, animated background and find out how antivirals are designed, in a unique collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry, Cell and Systems Biology and the Department of Infection Biology and Microbiomes (University of Liverpool).
During this performance, the skaters will reveal what coronaviruses get up to inside your cells during infection and how scientists design drugs to stop them.
