The GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows:

1. In their Report on the establishment of certain fixed-term Professorships (Reporter, 2002-03, p. 519), the General Board proposed, inter alia, the establishment of a Professorship of Immunogenetics in the Department of Medical Genetics for Professor L. S. Wicker for the period 1 October 2002 to 31 May 2006. The Professorship was established for a fixed term to coincide with the availability of external funds supporting the Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowship held by Professor Wicker. The recommendations of this Report were approved by Grace 2 of 12 March 2003.

2. The Wellcome Trust have renewed the funding for Professor Wicker's Principal Research Fellowship for a further period to 29 July 2011. The School of Clinical Medicine have agreed to meet the cost of the Professorship for the remainder of Professor Wicker's tenure, for the period from 30 July 2011 to 30 September 2024.

3. The General Board accordingly recommend the re-establishment of the Professorship of Immunogenetics in the Department of Medical Genetics from 1 June 2006 for the duration of Professor Wicker's tenure.

4. The General Board recommend:

That the Professorship of Immunogenetics, established by Grace 2 of 12 March 2003, be re-established from 1 June 2006 for the tenure of Professor Linda Susan Wicker, placed in Schedule B of the Statutes, and assigned to the Department of Medical Genetics.
