Professor Anne Willis, HonFBTS, elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
On behalf of the BTS the Executive Committee would like to congratulate Professor Anne Willis, HonFBTS, who has been elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
Anne joins a group of the UK’s leading figures within biomedical and health sciences who have been selected for their outstanding contributions to advancing medical science, cutting edge research discoveries and translating developments into benefits for patients and wider society.
Speaking about the election, Anne said:
“I am honoured to have been elected to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences. This recognition reflects the contributions of my research group and our wider network of collaborators over many years. As RNA-based medicines and other advanced therapeutics become an increasingly important part of modern medicine, it is vital that we better understand how cells respond to these therapies and how unintended ‘off-target’ effects can arise. By addressing these challenges now, we can help ensure that new treatments are safe-by-design to deliver lasting benefits for patients.”
