A second lecture by Margaret Bowater on  Dreams

Lynn Fergusson is a Professor of Nutrition at the Auckland School of Medicine and a regular contributor to our Educational Series at dove house. 

Lynn obtained her D.Phil from Oxford University working on the subject of DNA damage and DNA repair in yeast.  In more recent years, she has extended that work to studies of the nature and causes of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, with particular focus on the New Zealand situation.  Given that some of the major cancers that are highly represented in New Zealand are those associated with dietary causes, much of her basic reserach has focused on understanding the role of dietary fibre in cancer.  She has a considerable number of publications and is frequently invited overseas to give invited lectures at international conferences in this area.

Lynn is Editor of Special Issues of Mutation Research and the Australasian Editor of Mutation Research: Fundamental and molecular mechanisms.  She is also on the Editorial Board and/or does regular reviewing for several other journals in the field of nutritional carcinogenesis.  She is the author or co-author of more than 200 original refereed publications, plus numerous book chapters and conference proceedings.
