Sir Adrian Smith, President of the Royal Society said: ‘The scope of scientific knowledge and experience in this year’s line-up is amazing. These outstanding researchers, individuals, and teams have contributed to our collective scientific endeavour and helped further our understanding of the world around us. I am proud to celebrate outstanding science and offer my congratulations to all the 2024 recipients of the Royal Society’s Medals and Awards.’
Among the awarded scientists, two are from the Medical Science Division:
Professor Sir Marc Feldmann from the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford has been jointly awarded the Royal Medal C (Applied) alongside Sir Ravinder Maini. This recognises their ground-breaking work on the treatment of a number of autoimmune diseases, which translated laboratory research into one of the biggest success stories in modern medicine and laid the groundwork for biologics to improve the quality of life for millions of people.
Professor Dame Molly Stevens, John Black Professor of Bionanoscience and Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies at the University of Oxford, has been awarded Armourers and Brasiers Company Prize. This recognises her achievements in pioneering nanomaterials for ultrasensitive disease diagnostics and advanced therapeutic delivery for the benefit of individuals and society at a global level.
Congratulations to all the awardees!
