Seven staff members from the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine have been recognised for their exemplary contributions to research. The King’s Research Management Network this year launched the annual Research Support Awards to coincide with National Research Administrators Day on 25 September. The awards provide an opportunity to recognise the hard work and achievements of professional services staff who are supporting research.

PhD candidates from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences collaborated with postgraduate students from the Royal College of Art (RCA) to create ART x SCIENCE, an exhibition connecting audiences with cutting-edge biomedical engineering research in the Science Museum, as part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival on 9-10 October. The exhibits were developed by students Julie Sigurdardottir and Marica Muffoletto, as well as five artists from the RCA.

The workshops were an opportunity for researchers to talk about their research in an engaging and accessible way and to connect with the ECHO community Tackling the isolation caused by the pandemic, a series of creative public engagement workshops saw heart and brain researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences talking about their work with the ECHO community.
