16 April 2010
The Waddington Medal is the only national award in developmental biology in the UK. It is awarded for outstanding research performance as well as services to the subject community. Nominees are outstanding developmental biologists who have made a significant contribution to UK developmental biology and who are still currently active in the field.
Robin Lovell-Badge (pictured) joined the staff of NIMR in 1988, and has been head of NIMR's Division of Stem Cell Biology and Developmental Genetics since 1993. His research focuses on sex determination, development of the nervous system, and the biology of stem cells within the early embryo, the CNS and the pituitary.
Robin is an Honorary Professor at UCL, a Visiting Professor at the University of Hong Kong, and President of the Institute of Animal Technology, as well as a member of several advisory boards, including the Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee for the HFEA and the Council of the Academy of Medical Sciences. He is an EMBO Member, a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Society, and previously has been awarded the Louis Jeantet Prize for Medicine (1995), the Amory Prize (1996), and the Feldberg Foundation Prize (2008).
