Invited Speakers: Professor Allen Hill, FRS (Course Director) is Professor
of Bioinorganic Chemistry in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory,
University of Oxford. His work on the electrochemistry of
proteins, particularly glucose oxidase, led the way to the
development of the MediSense glucose electrode.
Dr Martyn Boutelle is a lecturer in Physical Chemistry at
the Department of Chemistry, King's College London. His
interests include developing biosensors for in vivo monitoring
of neurotransmitters, energy metabolites and blood flow.
Professor Peter Dobson, Professor of Engineering Science at
University of Oxford, started working on optoelectronic
devices whilst at Philips Research Labs. The clean room
facility he set up at Oxford has made a wide variety of
prototype devices, including electrochemical microelectrodes.
Dr Luet Wong is a Lecturer in the Inorganic Chemistry
Laboratory, University of Oxford. For the past five years
he has been using recombinant DNA methods to investigate
enzyme catalysis and for the genetic modification of enzymes
to prepare novel derivatives with unusual properties.

REGISTRATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Places are limited so early registration by application form is strongly recommended. This will assure a place on the conference.
Registration by Fax or Mail:
Upon request, a place on the conference can be reserved for individuals who require time to obtain authorisation and process the payment of fees. This can be done by faxing or mailing the completed and signed application form to Rachel Bristow (Fax No: +44 (0)1865 288163). Invoices will be issued immediately to those submitting application forms only.
Please note that enrolments are made on a strictly first-come first-served basis, and therefore bookings will only be confirmed after a completed application form has been received. Note also that the organisers reserve the right to refuse admission to any delegate who has not paid the registration in full before the conference starts. In the event of late bookings, payment in full will be required at the registration on the first day of the conference or it is our policy to request credit card details which will be held for three weeks before processing or until payment is received.
Those who register by mail and have not received confirmation within three weeks should call us to ensure that their application has not been mislaid. Any delegate who has not received a confirmation of registration five days prior to the scheduled date of a conference should ring the CPD Centre to confirm that the conference will convene as scheduled.
REGISTRATION FEES
The full conference fee covers tuition, notes, lunches and daytime refreshments.
PAYMENT: Payment can be made in several ways: By cheque: payable to the OUDCE in pounds sterling. By credit card: using VISA, ACCESS or MASTERCARD. We are not able to accept any other forms of credit card. By Bank Transfer: please inform us and we will send the appropriate details.
REFUND POLICY
This Programme is financially self-supporting, and it is necessary to establish a minimum enrolment in each conference. If the conference is cancelled by the organisers, registered delegates will be given as much notice as possible (normally at least 10 days prior to the conference start-date). However, our liability will be limited to the refund of the registration fees in full (without deductions). If a registration is cancelled by a delegate, full refunds of registration fees less £50 administration costs are payable for cancellations received in writing ten working days before the conference starts. After this date no fees are returnable. The organisers reserve the right to make alterations to the stated Programme and other arrangements as deemed necessary.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Registered delegates who cannot attend the conference may be substituted at any time. Please notify Rachel Bristow at the address given below as far in advance as possible, giving full details of the person who will attend in your place. A completed application form for the replacement should thereafter be faxed to the CPD Centre.
