Abstract:
In a recent study Dr. Briner has shown that the rare-earth metal Lanthanum does
not produce toxic effects strictly by way of calcium channels, as has been long
believed. Why should we care? And what is Lanthanum anyway? In this
presentation Dr. Briner will explain how the face of pollution is changing, how
the substances we use in medicine are changing. These changes are also
challenging how the fields of pharmacology and toxicology evaluate the effects
of drugs and toxins.
