As part of the five year review of its research, the Unit provide the UK Medical Research Council with information about the careers of the postdoctoral researchers and research students that it has trained. This analysis has been carried out recently and turned up the following impressive information:-
54 students and postdocs who were trained in our Unit are now running their own Research Groups in Universities or Research Institutes. Of these, 21 have their laboratories in the UK, 13 in the USA, five in Spain, five in Canada and one each in Australia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Poland and Switzerland. Fifteen of those based in Universities have reached the level of full Professor and eight have founded biotechnology companies, three of which are in the UK. 20 other former students and postdocs have made their careers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Most of the remainder are still carrying out further postdoctoral training.
Many of our former students and postdocs have become international leaders in their field and two are listed in the world's 100 most cited scientists in the field of Biology and Biochemistry over the last 10 years, They are Dario Alessi at position 13 and Brian Hemmings at 62 (Thomson Scientific, Philadelphia).
