Anne McLaren Lecture 2019

This year’s Anne McLaren Lecture, “Can reformed communication save patients from harm?”, was delivered by Professor Marie Lindquist, Director of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre, an independent, non-profit foundation and centre for international scientific research, based in Sweden. UMC is the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring.
The OIBC Anne McLaren Lecture is held in conjunction with Kellogg College and the Trustees of the Oxford International Biomedical Centre. Dr Anne McLaren, DBE, Hon DSc, FRS (1927-2007) was a Trustee of the Oxford International Biomedical Centre. Her distinction as an experimental scientist in the field of mammalian embryology was matched by her concern for the ethical and legal consequences of in vivo fertilisation (IVF) and other clinical advances in human embryology. She is commemorated in Anne McLaren House at Kellogg College.
