Why some infections turn deadly and others do not, from a biologist who breeds the answer in a laboratory.

At Royal Society.
Kayla King has the Francis Crick Medal for 2026 for her work on the evolution of infectious disease. Virulence is not fixed: a pathogen can become far more or far less harmful within a few generations, and she runs experiments passing bacteria and viruses through hosts to watch it happen. The lecture covers what drives those shifts and what they mean for treating the resulting infections. Free, but book a ticket; doors open at 18:00 and the lecture starts at 18:30.
