Most of us know that vitamin D comes from the
sun and that a little bit is essential to keep us healthy. But for
Adrian Martineau, Senior Lecturer in Respiratory Infection and
Immunity at Barts and The London Medical School, the ‘sunshine
vitamin’ is much more interesting than that. He talks to the
Wellcome Trust's Jenny Jopson about how his research is
uncovering connections with illnesses as diverse as asthma, TB and
cancer.
This packed lunch event was recorded live on 6
April 2011 at Wellcome Collection.
