Philip Cohen has been elected a Corresponding Member of the Australian Academy of Science, one of only 27 scientists from around the world to hold the honour.
Philip was recognised for his outstanding contributions to the life sciences. The list includes two Nobel Laureates, while Sir David Attenborough is one of the eight Corresponding Members from the UK.
'I was greatly surprised and honoured to learn that I had been elected a Corresponding Member of the Australian Academy of Science as it is a rather exclusive club' said Sir Philip.
Philip's contributions to science in Australia were made during a number of visits to the country starting in 1980. He has given lectures at conferences and at every major university in Australia as well as public lectures in Melbourne, Victoria and Newcastle, where he talked about how Life Sciences and Biotechnology transformed Dundee. His research has influenced the work of countless Australian researchers, and his laboratory in Dundee has hosted a number of visiting professors from Australia who have gone on to make their mark on the scientific community.
