Academy Fellows are elected for outstanding contributions to the advancement of medical science, for innovative application of scientific knowledge and conspicuous service to healthcare. This year forty of the United Kingdom’s leading doctors and medical researchers have been recognised for excellence in medical science with their election to the Academy Fellowship. These distinguished medical scientists join the existing Fellows of the Academy bringing the total membership to 947. The new Fellows will be formally admitted to the Academy at a ceremony on Wednesday 24 June.
François Guillemot (pictured) graduated in Biochemistry and Genetics at the University of Paris VI, and subsequently gained a PhD in Genetics there. After an EMBO fellowship at the Harvard Medical School and a fellowship from the Medical Research Council of Canada, at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Toronto, he continued his research work at the Institut de Genetique et Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire in Strasbourg, France. In 2002 he moved to NIMR, working in the Division of Molecular Neurobiology. In 2007 Dr Guillemot was awarded the Remedios Caro Almela Prize for Research in Developmental Neurobiology.
