Dr Christopher Stewart became a Lister Prize Fellow in 2021. We caught up with him after this year’s Lister Institute’s Annual Fellows Meeting to learn more about his work and life post-prize.

The Annual Meeting is a fantastic opportunity for our members – including current and former Fellows, Governing Body members, Scientific Advisory Committee members, trustees, and staff – to unite in sharing and celebrating the work enabled by the Lister Institute.

Research led by Lister Fellow Professor Sherif El-Khamisy over the past four years has just been published in Nature.

We chat with Dr Cynthia Andoniadou to find out more about her work and the impact that the Lister Fellowship has had on her career to date.

Former Lister Fellow and member of the Lister’s Scientific Advisory Group (SAC) Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz has grown a model mouse embryo from stem cells.

Congratulations go out to Professor Barry Potter who recently received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Bath.

As Professor Sir Alex Markham’s tenure as Chair comes to an end, he will be succeeded by Professor John Iredale. And in turn, Professor Julian Blow will replace John as Chair of our Scientific Advisory Committee.

With the 2023 Prize shortly opening for applications, we are delighted to announce the researchers who have been awarded the 2022 Fellowship.

Current Fellow Tim Blower publishes new paper revealing discovery of new family of BREX phage defence system regulators. Meanwhile, Professors Kate Storey and Paul Lehner are elected as Royal Society Fellows.

2021 Lister Fellow Professor Ravi Gupta and colleagues publish latest research into HIV drug resistance and separately, on understanding African vaccine responses.
