Who is Linda Long?

Dr. Linda Long is a biochemist and musician, who has combined these two fields to create what she terms molecular music.

Dr. Long worked as a biochemist and a Research Fellow in Complementary Medicine at Exeter University, specialising in the fields of homeopathy, herbal medicine and music therapy. Her work has been published in various medical journals, and she is an associate editor of the Journal Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies, published by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

She has been awarded an Invention and Innovation award over two years by NESTA.

The award has also helped her develop an exhibit at Explore @Bristol.
