This year’s elected Fellows include Professor Dame Molly Stevens (Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics), Professor Matt Higgins (Department of Biochemistry), and Professor Simon Draper (Department of Paediatrics). Their election recognises their important contributions to biomedical science, including work on biomaterials, structural biology, and vaccine development.

They join 54 new Fellows from across the field, all recognised for their contributions to medical science and efforts to benefit patients and society.

Professor Andrew Morris CBE FRSE PMedSci, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences, said:

“It is a privilege to welcome these 54 exceptional scientists to our Fellowship. Each new Fellow brings unique expertise and perspective to addressing the most significant health challenges facing society.

“The breadth of disciplines represented in this year’s cohort – from mental health and infectious disease to cancer biology and respiratory medicine – reflects the rich diversity of medical science today. Their election comes at a crucial time when scientific excellence and collaboration across disciplines are essential for addressing global health challenges both now and in the future. We look forward to working with them to advance biomedical research and create an environment where the best science can flourish for the benefit of people everywhere.”
