This is a prize that is awarded annually to one or more MRes and/or PhD students within the Department of Chemistry adjudged by the department to have produced outstanding work in the field of ‘novel methods for cellular analysis’. Douglas Wylie was a much-respected colleague who undertook novel research in the area of cellular analysis and this prize was set up to recognise and celebrate his research legacy.
