Professor Maggie Harnett receives her Tenovus medal from Professor Ian McInnes

We were thrilled to learn that the School of Infection & Immunity's Professor Margaret Harnett is the recipient of the prestigious 2023 Tenovus Medal.

In addition to providing funding to support research, Tenovus Scotland offers a small number of national prizes in research excellence.

Awarded to world-class scientists since 1992, the Tenovus Medal recognises the best of Scottish research in the area of molecular medicine.

Recipients, who have typically studied or worked in Scotland, are presented with an engraved silver medal following their Medal Lecture.

Professor Harnett delivered her address, 'Models & Mechanisms of Ageing: a holistic approach to healthspan', at the 1st Glasgow Geroscience Group Symposium.

Held at the CRUK Beatson Institute at the Garscube Campus on Monday 12 June 2023 as part of the G3 promoting Women in Science initiative, the event was followed by a reception at which Head of MVLS Professor Iain McInnes presented the medal.

Congratulations, Professor Harnett!
