Barts Charity Rising Stars Lectureships Professor Mauro Perretti, Professor Steve Thornton and Professor David Kelsell
Awarded £6,137,969
Barts Charity has partnered with Barts and The London School of Medicine and and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London for a transformational programme to recruit a new generation of lead researchers for the next decade. The grant will support SMD’s plan to appoint 16 lecturers and support them in their career progression towards independence. The new lecturers will underpin innovative research in the strategic areas of expertise in cardiovascular medicine, cancer, inflammation, trauma and population health sciences. They will be offered a flexible start-up package including a research assistant and consumables. Their time will be 100% devoted to research. The programme will build capacity in junior academic positions, ensuring continuity to the quality of academic research conducted at SMD. SMD will support and nurture the new junior academics with the aim to develop well-established researchers and therefore increase the REF2021 headcount submission at the same time maintaining the high quality of research performed and outputs produced.
