The Liverpool scientists saving lives with antivenom research

In an unassuming building in Liverpool, a team are tasked with looking after 200 of the world's most deadly snakes.

Scientists at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) extract venom to help develop new drugs to prevent snakebite deaths around the world.

The LSTM was the first institution of its kind when it opened in 1898.

This year marks its 125th anniversary and scientists at the facility are still saving lives with antivenom research.
