BTS 2012 – The Medawar Medal

Now in its twenty-first year, the Medawar Medal continues to reward excellence and innovation among young scientists and doctors in honour of Sir Peter Medawar, Nobel Laureate and founder BTS Chairman.

Since 2007 the award has been divided into two categories, clinical and basic science, to overcome the difficulty of comparing work across different disciplines. This year’s results were:

Scientific Paper:

Jennifer Cole, Memory CD4 T cells that recognise additional mismatched alloantigen provide CD40-indepentent help for effector anti-MHC class I alloantibody responses
University of Cambridge

Clinical Paper:

Sarah Hosgood, The first clinical series of normothermic perfusion in marginal donor kidney transplantation
University of Leicester
