Dorothy Hodgkin Memorial Lecture 2024
08/03/2024 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
‘Seeing Pain: A Window on the Human Brain through Neuroimaging’ part of the Oxford International Women’s Festival.
2024 marks 30 years since the death of Dorothy Hodgkin and 60 years since she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, acknowledging her work on the structures of Vitamin B12, penicillin, insulin and cholesterol using xray crystallography. She remains the only British woman to have been awarded a Nobel Prize in science.
Speaker
She is currently President of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS).
Professor Tracey’s research on the neuroscience of pain has contributed to a better understanding of pain perception and its relief in the human brain. She has also used neuroimaging to better understand anaesthesia-induced altered states of consciousness
Professor Tracey completed her undergraduate degree and doctorate at Merton College, Oxford, in biochemistry.
She held a postdoctoral position at Harvard Medical School, working at the Martinos Centre for Biomedical Imaging, before returning to Oxford in 1997, when she became a founding member and then Director for ten years of the world-leading institution now known as the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging. She has won many academic and international prizes throughout her career, most recently election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Professor Tracey is married to Professor Myles Allen and they have three children.
