	Invited Speakers:	Dr Diljeet Athwal is a Senior Research Scientist in Immunology at Celltech, one of Europe’s leading biotechnology companies. His interests are in protein engineering and the production and therapeutic application of humanised monoclonal antibodies in human disease. Dr Mick Coleman is a group leader at the Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne and a Senior Research Associate with the University of Oxford’s Department of Pharmacology. His research interests are the genetic control of axon survival. Professor Keith Dyke is a University Lecturer in Microbiology in the University of Oxford’s Department of Biochemistry and Fellow of Wadham College, with a particular interest in the molecular biology of resistance to antibiotics in staphylococci. Professor Christopher Leaver F.R.S, F.R.S.E is Sibthorpian Professor of Plant Science and Head of Department of Plant Sciences. His research interests concern the molecular, biochemical and cellular basis of plant development and the regulation of metabolism in plants. He has a strong interest in biotechnological exploitation of the plant sciences. Dr Chris Norbury (Course Director Part II) is Head of the Cell Cycle Group in the Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories working in the University of Oxford’s Institute of Molecular Medicine. Prior to this he carried out postdoctoral studies on eukaryotic cell cycle control in the Microbiology Unit at the University of Oxford under Professor Paul Nurse. Dr Judith Skinner is a senior research associate in the University of Oxford’s Department of Human Anatomy and Genetics. Her research interests include transgenics and developmental biology. Professor Michael Yudkin (Course Director Part I) is a University Lecturer in the University of Oxford’s Department of Biochemistry and Fellow of Kellogg College, with a particular interest in the transcriptional regulation of spore formation in Bacillus. Co-author of Comprehensible Biochemistry (Longman).
