Prize Winning Research
Studying for your PhD at the LRI places you in a prize-winning research environment. Our scientists have won a number of prestigious awards and fellowships, most notably the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine won jointly between Tim Hunt and Paul Nurse in 2001 for their discoveries of key regulators of the cell cycle.
Other prestigious awards include elections to EMBO, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Society. See the Awards and Honours pages for a full list of awards and honours bestowed upon LRI scientists.
LRI students are also eligible for a number of prizes and scholarships, including the Korner Travelling Fellowship Fund, Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Awards, UCL Scholarships and Overseas Research Scholarships.
Other prizes won by LRI students include the Second Year Seminar Prize, for the student who gives the best second year seminar and the Pontecorvo Prize, awarded annually for the best Cancer Research UK funded PhD thesis submitted each year.
Many of our students also win prizes for their presentations at scientific conferences.
