    The Wellcome Lecture This Wellcome Lecture coincides with the launch of the Wellcome Centre for Medical Science. It is hoped that it will be the first of many in collaboration with the Association for Science Education and will contribute to the professional exchange between the Centre and those charged with teaching science in schools and colleges. The Wellcome Lecturer Professor Marcus Pembrey is Head of the Mothercare Unit of Clinical Genetics and Fetal Medcine, and Vice-Dean at the Institute of Child Health, the Medical School of The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street. The Institute of Child Health has a well-established research programme aimed at providing gene therapy for inherited deficiencies of the immune system. Professor Pembrey holds many additional appointments including Consultant Advisor in Genetics to the Department of Health and Member of the Standing Committee of the British Paediatric Association on Medical Ethics. He is also Chairman of the Trustees of the Progress Educational Trust, an organisation devoted to education about human reproduction, the embryo and the- causes of .congenital disorders. ■wv.- ;'^ ,\ \ •«/»* ■.■-.Jit.!! k t I This Booklet L This booklet gives an outline of the lecture on gene therapy, with most of the illustrations used in the lecture included as diagrams.
