LRD 2022
AWARDS
AD Bangham Award
The A.D. Bangham FRS Life Achievement Award for lifetime contributions to liposome research has been given at Liposome Research Days since 1994, when the late Dr. Demetrios Papajopoulos was the first recipient.
Senior members of the international liposome/nanomedine community are eligible for nomination for the Bangham Award. Former award recipients constitute the nominating committee and vote on the award recipient.
The award winner for 2022, Dr. Philip Felgner, received the award and gave a presentation at a ceremony held as part of the LRD 2022 conference.
The Bangham Award is named in honor of Dr. Alec Douglas Bangham, a haematologist and British biophysicist who first studied blood clotting mechanisms but became well known for his research on liposomes and his invention of a clinically useful artificial lung surfactant. Dr. Bangham abandoned a career in clinical pathology to become a research scientist with a 60-year career rich in discovery and innovation. He is known as the father of liposomes.
Dr. Bangham died in Great Shelford, UK, on March 9, 2010. Read his obituary in The Lancet.
