Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ English wanted to connect with other women in neuroscience but couldn’t find quite the right organisation. So she started the Women in Neuroscience Network in the UK.

Researchers at Balasubramanian Group spin-out Cambridge Epigenetix have found a new way to sequence genetic and epigenetic information in the same work flow, which could help detect diseases like cancer.

“We will be working to advance the performance of fast charging, long life batteries for automotive,” explains Dr Israel Temprano, who has received a grant as part of a collaboration to research ultra-fast charging batteries.

Professor Robert Phipps has been awarded a European Research Council consolidator grant for research into enantioselective radical chemistry.

Professor Hanadi Sleiman spoke on her work on DNA nanostructures and how they can be applied to drug design and delivery at the 2023 Cambridge Energy Transition Lecture here in January.

Bernardes Group researcher Dr Yanira Méndez Gómez has won the Otto Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award.

A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and UCL has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this most famous of liquids.

Cambridge Oncology, a new company co-founded by Professor Melinda Duer and James Harrison, CEO of Cycle Pharmaceuticals, is pioneering a new drug that combats cancer tumours by targeting their environment.
