Foulkes Foundation Medal
The Academy of Medical Sciences has worked with the Foulkes Foundation over the last five years to recognise and promote excellence in biomedical research through the award of a prestigious medal. The Foulkes Foundation Medal, awarded to an individual every two years, also aims to inspire and encourage others to pursue a career in biomedical research.
The Academy is delighted to announce that the 2011 winner is Professor Patrick Chinnery FMedSci.
Candidates will have demonstrated outstanding achievements in the first fifteen years of research since completion of their PhD, with work predominantly undertaken in the UK. The winner receives £1000 as well as a commemorative medal. The winner is also invited to present an award lecture at an Academy event on a future occasion.
To nominate an individual, the following are required:
Key dates:
September – Deadline for nominations.
October – Announcement of the winner, selected by an Award Committee comprised of representatives from the Foulkes Foundation and the Academy of Medical Sciences.
November – Medal awarded at the Academy’s AGM.
The Foulkes Foundation was set up in 1972 by Dr Ernest Foulkes, following his retirement from the company he established, Measuring and Scientific Equipment Ltd, one of the world’s most respected scientific instrument manufacturers. Whilst running the company, Dr Foulkes became aware of the importance of training more medical doctors in both science and clinical medicine. Since 1975, the Foundation has awarded 6-8 promising young scientists each year with the financial assistance they require to train in medicine.
