The lectures first took place at Newcastle University in 1937 and have covered a wide range of topics including sustainability, forensic science, medical physics, chemistry and sports science. The talks form part of the INSIGHTS Public Lecture programme and are held every January.The 2026 Holmes Lectures will be given by researchers from Newcastle University’s Faculty of Medical Sciences and School of Dental Sciences and will take place in the Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building.Guardians of health: how oral hygiene supports our immune system (Lecture 2)There are over 700 species of microorganisms (bugs) in the mouth, and the immune response can distinguish between those that are infectious and harmless. This lecture explores how the immune response can specifically detect harmful oral microorganisms and respond rapidly to protect us from disease. Discover how an overactive immune response to oral microorganisms causes gum disease and tooth decay, and how it can also impact our general health._________________________________________________Ticket InformationClick on the 'Reserve a spot' button and add your name and contact details to the short form.This event will be held in the Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building at Newcastle University (NE1 7RU).We operate a paperless ticketing system, so you do not need to print your tickets.
