BSI Summer Research Bursaries provide undergraduate students with valuable hands-on research experience in interdisciplinary laboratories. The bursaries support novel research projects, many of which lead to new academic areas, publications, and further funding applications.

The Early Career Researchers' Winter Symposium 2024, hosted at Durham University, marked an exciting event for the next generation of researchers at the boundaries of the life sciences and the other physical sciences. With over 50 attendees from eight institutions and companies, the one-day event focused on presenting cutting-edge research, and showcasing interdisciplinary discoveries from across biomathematics, biophysics, biological chemistry, chemical biology and bioengineering.

In November 2024 we were very pleased to welcome Dr Ioanna Mela (Cambridge) to Durham as the 2024 Judith Howard Lecture prize winner.

A BSI-linked, international team of scientists led by Professor Paul Denny has been awarded The MRC Outstanding Team Impact Prize, which recognises the major impact its collaborative team science approach has made in medical research.
