|
| 30th Oct 2012 | 20:15 | Societies | Development of the DNA Vaccine Against HIV/AIDS — Prof Mart Ustav | Prof Ustav shall explain how study of the general functions of the papillomavirus proteins led to the development of the DNA plasmid based expression vectors, which were effectively used in vivo. In fact, his group used papillomavirus protein E2 and respective binding sites in the viral genome and engineered recombinant plasmid, which has similar properties to papillomavirus genomes: a) to be maintained as multicopy nuclear extrachromosomal element in the nucleus of the transfected cells for extenden time and b) be transfered to the daughter cells in the similar fashion like papillomavirus genomes. Addition of this papillomavirus genome function generated expression plasmid which produced the produt of interest — HIV1 antigens, at the very much higher level in comparison to conventional vectors and expression is maintained for much longer time in the targeted tissue. Application of such DNA vaccine into HIV1 positive treatment naive patients resulted in induction of anti-HIV specific T-cell immune response, reduction of the viral load up to one order of magnitude and increase in CD4+ cell counts by 20% as shown in phase II clinical study.
Refreshments from 18:00.

| 29th Oct 2012 | 20:30 | Societies | Why Biologists Need Mathmos | Dr Julia Gog (DAMPT)
It is impossible to think about physics without mathematics. What about biology? Here, Dr Gog will argue that the biologists need us mathematicians. The genome revolution has changed everything, and we are entering an amazing time. It does not matter if you think you are a pure or applied mathematician, there’s something going on here that you should keep an eye on… (Winstanley Lecture Theatre). |

|
| 25th Oct 2012 | 18:15 | Societies | Watching Single Molecules — Prof David Klenerman | Single molecule fluorescence studies have now reached a stage where they can provide new insights into important biological problems. After presenting the principles of these methods, Prof Klenerman will give three examples from his research. Firstly his group have used single molecule fluorescence to detect and analyse the low concentrations of soluble oligomers present during the aggregation reaction of amyloid beta and alpha synuclein, proteins responsible for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease respectively. This has enabled them to gain new insights into the molecular mechanism of aggregation. Secondly they have imaged individual proteins on the surface of a live T cell to elucidate the initial molecular events that lead to T-cell triggering, which underpins the adaptive immune response. Finally Prof Klenerman will describe how fundamental science aimed at watching single molecules incorporating nucleotides into DNA gave rise to a new rapid method to sequence DNA that is now widely used.

| 22nd Oct 2012 | 20:30 | Societies | What’s the Problem with Maths? | Dr David Acheson (Oxford)
What’s the Problem with Maths? Why are so many people scared stiff of mathematics? Quite apart from anything else, the subject is full of wonderful surprises, and I will consider several of them, suitable for a wide spectrum of ages, and ranging from a piece of mathematical ‘conjuring’ to the question of whether mathematics can explain the legendary Indian Rope Trick.

| 15th Oct 2012 | 20:30 | Societies | Numeracy and the Media: is it a Lost Cause? | Prof. David Spiegelhalter (StatsLab)
I shall look at the portrayal of numbers in the news, with particular attention to risk stories of the ‘cats cause cancer’ variety, and the use of ghastly statistical graphics. After (with luck) getting some cheap laughs, I shall consider whether things are getting better or worse, and make a few tentative suggestions for how we all might help.

| 8th Oct 2012 | 20:30 | Societies | Why Mathmos Rule the World: Always Have, Always Will | Dr Piers Bursill-Hall (DPMMS)
Bursill-Hall was educated – at least in some sense – in France, America, Canada, and England; most of his learning coming from dubious public houses in Devon and he ended up at Cambridge University, and has managed to avoid the workhouse or madhouse ever since. He has taught undergraduate courses in history of mathematics and most aspects of history of science at Cambridge and a few other places foolish enough to invite him to talk. It is not known where his ‘off’ button is, but chocolate usually shuts him up temporarily. He is currently 39 years old, and has been for many years. His research and teaching has concentrated on history of ancient, Renaissance, and Enlightenment science, mathematics and mathematical arts, the history of medicine and recently early Islamic science and its origins.
