At this month's European Society for Biomaterials conference in Turin, Prof Liz Tanner from Queen Mary's Centre for Bioengineering, was given the Klaus de Groot Award. This award is for "scientists who have shown a distinct ability to provide excellent mentorship and guidance to young researchers, helping them to establish their own independent career."

The panel recognised Prof Tanner's considerable contribution supporting students and early career academics at Queen Mary and during her time at University of Glasgow. Prof Tanner gave a Prize Lecture entitled "New Bones for Old" which covered her career from undergraduate to professor including running European Society for Biomaterials and World Biomaterials Conferences. She also described the development of biomaterials and biomedical engineering education within the UK and Sweden.
