IBMS President Ian Sturdgess joined the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, MPs and scientists in Parliament recently to present the Silver Award in Biological and Biomedical Sciences at SET for Britain 2016.
Ian joined Stephen Metcalfe MP, Chair of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, and Dr Stephen Benn MP to present Dr Vinodh Kannappan with the Silver Award for his poster. Dr Kannappan's poster 'Translation of an Alcoholism Medicine into an Anticancer Drug using Nanotechnology' detailed the findings of his research undertaken at the Research Institute of Healthcare Science, University of Wolverhampton.
SET for Britain is a poster competition that showcases the work and communication skills of early-career researchers. The IBMS was delighted to be able to offer support and recognition through sponsorship of the Silver Award in the Biological and Biomedical poster competition category. Sturdgess congratulated Vinodh on his excellent work, and said: "We place great value on the work of early-career researchers and I am grateful for the opportunity to offer support and recognise their achievements.
“The work of early-career researchers has the potential to impact on the health of people in the UK, and across the world. SET for Britain is an excellent opportunity for biological and biomedical scientists to showcase their research and raise awareness of the valuable work of biomedical scientists and scientists in general to politicians and the public.”
