Many congratulations to Christos Kiourtis who has been awarded the Institute's JP Award for best student presentation. Christos is a final-year PhD student in Dr Tom Bird's group, who work on liver disease and regeneration. Christos gave a fantastic talk on the role of the systemic effects of hepatocellular senescence. 

The JP Award is named after the Institute's former director Dr John Paul (1922-1994), who established the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research as an independent research institute and moved it to our present location on the Garscube Estate in 1976.
