Six scientists from the University of Oxford have joined the Royal Society as Fellows.
All were selected for their outstanding contributions in various scientific fields and are as follows:
For his extraordinarily effective work in explaining profound concepts in particle physics and science in general at all levels of society including in Parliament and to the general public, Professor Frank Close of the Department of Physics is elected to the Royal Society as a Fellow. His work focuses on the strong force that binds quarks to form hadrons and atomic nuclei.
Professor Adrian Hill, Director of the Jenner Institute (Nuffield Department of Medicine), becomes a Fellow for his leading role in the design and development of new vaccines for globally important infectious diseases over the course of over 25 years. He has demonstrated that non-replicating vectored vaccines, particularly simian adenoviruses used in heterologous prime-boost immunisation regimes, can protect safely through ce
