Malaysian Scientist In Cambridge Awarded With Prestigious Medal For Cancer Research
Malaysian-born scientist, Dr. Serena Nik-Zainal has been awarded the highly-acclaimed Francis Crick Medal and Lecture 2022 by The Royal Society – the UK’s national academy of sciences that promotes, recognises, and rewards outstanding developments in the scientific domain.
Dr. Serena, now based in Cambridge, received her well-deserved recognition after the committee elected to highlight the scientist’s “enormous contributions to understanding the aetiology of cancers by her analyses of mutation signatures in cancer genomes”, which they report as already being used in cancer therapy.
