“I am delighted to congratulate the Foulkes Foundation on their 50th Anniversary.

My major engagement with the Foundation was through the Foulkes Foundation medal that was awarded every two years by the Academy of Medical Sciences in partnership with the Foundation. This medal was awarded for high impact contributions to translational research by individuals within ten years of acquiring their PhD. This has become a much sought after accolade and, as the quality of the recipients attest, a mark of outstanding merit in UK biomedical science.

Particular credit goes to Maureen Foulkes whose passion and indefatigability in leading the Foundation’s work has been key to its success.

Happy 50th birthday!”
