Academy Of Medical Sciences New Fellows Details

While commenting on the fellowship opportunity, Professor Draper said, "I am delighted to have been elected to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences and honoured that the work of our lab should be recognised in this way. All credit goes to the wonderful research team that I have had the privilege to work with over many years. Malaria continues to affect the most vulnerable in society, in the world’s poorest regions, and there remains an urgent need to develop improved vaccines to protect future generations. I am immensely grateful to my team for their tireless efforts in this regard, and to our partners and collaborators who are helping us to advance innovative solutions aimed at reducing the global burden of this disease."

Professor Stevens commented, "I’m really honoured to be elected to the Academy of Medical Sciences, and I want to thank my fantastic team—past and present—for making this possible. Working with such a smart, collaborative, and creative group has been an incredible privilege. A big focus of our work is making sure that innovation in diagnostics and therapeutics leads to more equitable access to healthcare. We’re always asking how we can design technologies that are not only cutting-edge but also affordable and practical for use in low-resource settings. It’s been especially rewarding to see the impact of our work on global health challenges. I’m excited to join the Academy and look forward to the opportunities it offers to advocate for more equitable access to healthcare."
