This year's recipients are - 

PhD, FRSB Mark Coles - Professor of Immunology

PROFESSOR MARK COLES 

“It is a fantastic honour to have been awarded a Kennedy Professorship in Immunology in NDORMS. I am very excited about continuing to work with Arthritis – Therapy Acceleration Program and the underpinning research we are doing to discover and develop new therapeutics for rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory disease and cancer using interdisciplinary approaches. As Director of Graduate studies I have had the privilege of supporting the Kennedy Trust Prize Studentship program, developing the next generation of scientists to tackle chronic inflammatory human disease.  I have recently become an official fellow and theme lead in cellular life at Reuben College, Oxford’s 39th and newest college which is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary exchange in an inclusive, innovative and impact-oriented community to support graduate student development.”
