Welcome to the Academy of Medical Sciences
The Academy of Medical Sciences promotes advances in medical science and campaigns to ensure these are translated into healthcare benefits for society.
The Academy, Cancer Research UK and Wellcome Trust have released a report of a meeting to assesses the government’s progress since the launch of 'A new pathway for the regulation and governance of health research'
The report reveals a need for leadership and collaboration in the research community so that the new Health Research Agency can become an influential body.
The Academy has welcomed a Written Ministerial Statement and report from the Home Office on the transposition of the EU Directive on animal research.
The Government response takes into account the Academy's recommendations regarding the authorisation of projects involving animals containing human material (ACHM)
46 of the United Kingdom’s leading medical researchers have been recognised for excellence in medical science by election to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
15 (33%) of these new Fellows are women, more than double the percentage of female Professors in the biosciences.
We are currently recruiting for a Grants Manager.
The Academy welcomes the announcement in the Queen’s speech that the Government will bring forward draft legislation to establish Heath Education England and the Health Research Authority on a stable and independent footing.
