A day to celebrate the research of Barts and The London
School of Medicine and Dentistry
William Harvey Day
St Bartholomew’s Hospital,
West Smithfield
Tuesday 26 October 2010
Invitation
Message from the Warden, Professor Sir Nicholas Wright
You are cordially invited to William Harvey Day which will
take place on Tuesday 26 October 2010.
William Harvey Day will showcase some of the best cutting edge
research currently underway in Barts and The London School
of Medicine and Dentistry and in our partner NHS Trusts. There
will be nine presentations by School researchers, as well as three
science “hot topics” presented by leading researchers who have
recently joined the School and two undergraduate prize winners.
We are delighted that this year’s guest lectures will be given by
Sir Tim Hunt FRS, Nobel Laureate and principal researcher at the
Cancer Research UK Clare Hall Laboratories, Professor Sir Mark
Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust and Professor Marcus du
Sautoy, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and
Professor of Mathematics from the University of Oxford.
The day will conclude with the Barts and The London NHS Trust’s
traditional annual St Luke’s-tide Service in the church of St
Bartholomew-the-Great and a subscription dinner at the nearby
Butchers’ Hall. I would make a special request for you to attend
the Service, as it really is imperative we have a good attendance to
preserve this traditional and very enjoyable component of the day.
All the lectures and presentations will be in the Morris Lecture
Theatre in the Robin Brook Centre. The poster display, lunch,
coffee and tea will be in the Great Hall of St Bartholomew’s
Hospital and the Pathology Museum.
I very much hope that you will be able to join us for some or all
of the day, and ask that you return the registration form attached
by Monday 18 October 2010 or book online at
www.qmul.ac.uk/events.
With best wishes,
Professor Sir Nicholas Wright.
