The Sir Douglas Hague Annual Lecture 2010
Thursday 18 November at 6.30pm
The second Sir Douglas Hague Annual Lecture will be given by Professor Raymond Dwek, a leading Oxford scientist, who is the Director of the Oxford Glycobiology Institute at the University of Oxford.
Oxford University has a strong track record of spinning out new ventures that exploit its intellectual capital in the commercial world and attracting funds from the commercial world to further develop its intellectual capital.
In this year's lecture Professor Dwek, who has been highly successful in interacting with the commercial world, will reflect on Oxford's experience using case studies from the University's spin-out and industry-funded research activities.
Well known for his original perspective on problems, Professor Dwek will challenge some of the assumptions underlying conventional thinking in this area.
Professor Dwek is founder of Oxford GlycoSciences and director of United Therapeutics, and was the President of the Institute of Biology (2008-2010).
The lecture takes place at 6.30pm on Thursday 18 November in Lecture Theatre 4, Saïd Business School. Registration from 6pm. The Lecture is followed by a drinks reception at 7.30pm.
The Lecture is free of charge but please register if you plan to attend. Register here.
