Professor Peter Ghazal elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences
Peter Ghazal elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences
All our warmest congratulations to Peter on being elected to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences, this is a richly deserved honour. 48 researchers from across the UK were recognised for their contribution to the advancement of medical science. Academy Fellows are elected for excellence in medical research, for innovative application of scientific knowledge or for their conspicuous service to healthcare.
The Academy of Medical Sciences champions the excellence and diversity of medical science in the UK, and this is clearly demonstrated in this year’s cohort of new Fellows. Their broad range of expertise and fantastic achievements to date shows just how strong the Fellowship is – from the NHS knowledge of Sir Andrew Dillon to the policy experience of Professor Christl Donnelly. Their election is a much deserved honour, and I know they will contribute greatly to the Academy. I am delighted to welcome them all to the Fellowship, and look forward to working with them in the future.”
The new Fellows will be formally admitted to the Academy at a ceremony on Wednesday 1 July 2015.
5 new Fellows are from University College London, and 4 are from each of the following institutions - University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh. Other new Fellows are drawn from across the UK, including Aberdeen, Southampton and Bath, and from companies including AstraZeneca, Astex and Immunocore.
