These Fellows have been chosen for their outstanding efforts in the field of biomedical science, including national science engagement and communication programmes, research discoveries and translating scientific advancements into benefits for public healthcare.

The academics from 新香港六合彩开奖结果are:

Professor Ibrahim Abubakar (新香港六合彩开奖结果Institute for Global Health)听

In addition to his role as Director of the 新香港六合彩开奖结果Institute for Global Health, Prof Abubakar鈥檚 work focuses on the epidemiology, prevention and treatment of infections including hepatitides, tuberculosis, HIV, as well as antimicrobial resistance and vaccine-preventable diseases among underserved populations.听

Professor James Bainbridge (新香港六合彩开奖结果Institute of Ophthalmology)

Having performed the world鈥檚 first gene replacement surgery for inherited blindness, Professor Bainbridge鈥檚 aim is to reduce blindness by developing new treatments for retinal diseases.

NIHR Professor Paolo De Coppi (新香港六合彩开奖结果Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health)

Professor De Coppi has a special interest in congenital malformations and has focussed his research interests on stem cells and tissue engineering, trying to find new treatment modalities. He descibed the presence of stem cells in the amniotic fluid and pioneered regenerative medicine applications in children.

Professor Diana Gibb (MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL)听

Having coordinated multi-country paediatric HIV trials across Europe, Thailand and South America since the 1990s, Professor Gibb鈥檚 research examines tuberculosis, malaria and antimicrobial resistance, with a focus on the suitability of children鈥檚 medicines to the setting.
