Gibilaro: Serious Business

UCL Book Reviews

‘Serious Business’, by Larry Gibilaro, Professor of Chemical Engineering at UCL for 20 years, features a physics lecturer at a ‘University of London College’ as the central character. It explores the interaction between academia and industry, as the lecturer and a biochemist seek to unlock the truth behind a new chemotherapy drug. It is a ‘campus novel’ written with an academic slant, offering non-academics a glimpse into a professional academic’s life. The action takes place in locations across Bloomsbury and Soho, providing much that is familiar to UCL students and staff, past and present. Purchase.
