Joint major gift to Cambridge and Oxford Universities helps boost initiatives to address challenges in science education and increase the number of pupils progressing to STEM degrees
The Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute (VPD-HLRI) and Selwyn College are delighted to announce the establishment of a newly endowed PhD studentship, The Raymond C. Read and Lillian J. Gostick PhD Studentship, which will focus on epidemiology, public health, global health, or infectious disease research.
The Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute is a thriving community of scientists and clinicians, the largest concentration of its kind in Europe, focused on tackling the world's biggest killers.
“I have been on such a fun journey”, says Darshana Joshi (Hughes Hall 2012), who benefited from a scholarship to support her PhD in Physics and now, back home in New Delhi, runs a global charity that inspires and upskills young people to enable access to STEM careers.
The University of Cambridge is home to a dynamic AI community, pursuing high-quality interdisciplinary collaborations to find solutions to some of the world's most urgent and complex challenges.
Cambridge is one of the few places in the world that can harness the kind of innovative thinking that has led to 27 Nobel Prizes in Medicine and 25 in Chemistry — and target it at how we diagnose, manage, and ultimately cure cancer.
With over 360 Olympians and 1,000 full internationals among our alumni, we are proud of our tradition of excellence. Our sights are set on growing this legacy by providing a sustainable sporting environment for students of all backgrounds and interests.
