Lloyd Cox Memorial Lecture 2023

Lloyd Cox Memorial Lecture 2023 

This year's Lloyd Cox Memorial Lecture will be held on Wednesday 6 September at the National Wine Centre from 5.30-7.30pm.

Returning to a face-to-face program for the first time since 2019, this year's lecture will feature a keynote address from Professor Mary Herbert from Monash University on: "Maternal transmission - a tale of two genomes".

Professor Mary Herbert is a pioneering researcher who combines basic biology with clinical research that is at the forefront of technology in reducing the risk of inherited mitochondrial disease. In this public lecture, she will provide an overview of her team’s work on the process of meiotic maturation in oocytes and on their development of clinically relevant methodologies to uncouple transmission of the maternal nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Their work has been essential for the development of the first UK program of mitochondrial replacement treatment for inherited mitochondrial disease. In her new role as Professor of Reproductive Biology at Monash University, Professor Herbert will make a leading contribution to the MitoHope initiative to pilot mitochondrial replacement treatment here in Australia.

When: Wednesday 6 September
Where: National Wine Centre 
Time: 5.30 - 7.30pm
Cost: Free
