The History
of Modern Biomedicine Research Group hosted its first Witness Seminar, on
monoclonal antibodies, in 1993. Since then more than sixty such meetings have
been held, the most recent on migraine in 2013. These all sought to go
behind-the-scenes of contemporary biomedicine to find out ‘what really
happened’.
In this,
the Group’s twenty-first anniversary year, we are delighted to present our
fiftieth Witness Seminar volume Monoclonal Antibodies to Migraine: Witnesses
to modern biomedicine, an A–Z. Comprising a series of extracts from
previous volumes, contributors include clinicians, scientists, patients and
numerous others involved in modern biomedicine, in the UK and beyond. Topics
range from ‘age discrimination’ to ‘Zantac’, and feature memories from every
decade between 1930s and the present.
