Mill Hill Essays 2000 ::

May 5th in this end-of-millennium year was the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the new Institute at Mill Hill by their majesties King George VIth and Queen Elizabeth. Rather than follow our usual aim in this essay series, of considering medical science topics in the news, we decided to include this small volume as part of our anniversary celebrations. For this purpose we have selected areas of our own work at the Institute which have been continuous important strands of medical research for the last half century. Many other aspects of our research are of course not included, but we hope you will get a flavour of the range of our interests from this small selection.
