Research council set to award 16 fellowships.
Sixteen new bioscience fellowships worth up to £1.7 million (US$2.8 million) each have been created by the United Kingdom's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Eight of the fellowships have been awarded to early-career researchers, and five Research Development Fellowships and a Professorial Fellowship will support established scientists. The awards also include the BBSRC's first Industrial Impact Fellowship, under which a pharmaceutical researcher will work in an academic research lab, and a new Diamond Fellowship, to be based near the national synchrotron facility near Harwell.
The fellowships will run for between three and five years.
