The Judith Howard Lecture 2024

The Judith Howard Lecture 2024

DNA nanotechnology and advanced microscopy for targeted antimicrobial delivery

The Howard Lecture is an annual lecture which celebrates world-leading early to mid-career academics working in the biophysical sciences from anywhere in the world. It is named in honour of Professor Judith Howard CBE FRS, one of the founders of the BSI. 

The 2024 prize lecture was given by Dr Ioanna Mela (Cambridge) and attracted attendees from across the Faculty of Science. Ioanna gave a whistlestop tour down some of the interesting rabbit holes she has explored during her research into the use of DNA nanotechnology as antimicrobial drug delivery agents.

The talk was followed by the summer research bursary poster session which showcased the wonderful research undertaken by this year's undergraduate bursary students.
