University scientists win three Royal Society of Chemistry prizes

Two individuals from the University of Liverpool have won prestigious prizes from the Royal Society of Chemistry, celebrating the most exciting chemical science taking place today. A collaboration involving a third researcher from the University has also won a prize.

Dr Brianna Heazlewood has been named the winner of the Marlow Award, and Professor Andrew Cooper has been named the winner of the Interdisciplinary Prize.

The Nose-to-Diagnose Team of Universities of Manchester and Edinburgh, with collaborators in the Netherlands, in industry, and at the University of Liverpool, have been named the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s new Analytical Division Horizon Prize: Robert Boyle Prize for Analytical Science.

The Nose-to-Diagnose team becomes one of the first winners of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s new Horizon Prizes, introduced after the organisation carried out a wholesale review of its recognition portfolio to better reflect modern science and its impacts in making the world a better place.

The Research and Innovation Prizes – of which the Marlow Award and the Interdisciplinary Prizes are two – celebrate brilliant individuals across industry and academia. They include prizes for those at different career stages in general chemistry and for those working in specific fields, as well as interdisciplinary prizes and prizes for those in specific roles.
