The winners of the Dunn School Bioimaging Facility Awards 2016 have been announced at the Departmental Symposium held on 9 January 2017 in the University of Oxford’s Medical Sciences Teaching Centre Lecture Theatre.
The Dunn School’s Professor Pedro Carvalho, Dr Marion Brown and Deputy Finance Manager, Audra Giles judged this year’s competition.
Audra said: “As a non scientist I found the images fascinating and exciting and certainly being on the panel made a change from the day job in finance.”
The panel announced the winners as:
Light Microscopy
Electron Microscopy
Most Humorous (new category!)
Prizes included a coffee machine, Amazon gift vouchers, binoculars, miniature microscopes and merchandise – a calendar, mouse mats and mugs – featuring the award winning images.
