The ANZIAM Victorian Branch of the Australian Mathematical Society
invites you to a Dinner and Lecture on

                     Tuesday 23rd July 1996 

at University House, University of Melbourne.  Welcoming drinks will 
be provided from 6.30 pm, with the lecture at 7 pm and dinner at 8 pm.

The guest speaker is 

                      PROFESSOR TERRY SPEED

of the Dept of Statistics, UC Berkeley and CMA at ANU speaking on 

    "Mathematical and Statistical aspects of the Human Genome Project"

Terry Speed grew up in Melbourne, and studied mathematics at Melbourne
University.  He went on to a PhD at Monash, and subsequently went to 
the University of Sheffield (UK). In 1974 he became professor of 
Statistics at UWA, and in 1983 was appointed Chief of the CSIRO Division 
of Mathematics and Statistics and later became Professor of Statistics 
at U.C. Berkeley.

Terry has been noted for his contributions in many areas of mathematics 
and statistics, and also to discussions of their place in society.  His 
current interest is in the application of statistics to genetics and 
molecular biology.  He is conducting research on models for genetic 
recombination, on the analysis of DNA and protein sequences, including 
the reconstruction of evolutionary trees from such data, and on a number 
of questions relating to the genetics of the immune system and the human 
immunodeficiency viruses.  The Human Genome Project has also been the 
stimulus for a number of the problems that he has investigated with his 
students.  (Terry was also an expert witness in the O.J. Simpson trial)

Cost is $30 including a 3-course dinner and drinks.

RSVP to Dr Michael Page           M.A.Page@monash.edu.au
