The scheme focuses on providing funding to close the gap between completion of a doctoral thesis and obtaining seed funding for innovative idea based on DPhil research. Jean-Francois, a DPhil student with Prof Deborah Gill and Prof Steve Hyde, has secured a Gold Award worth €27,500 to further his research on enhancing lentiviral vector production for gene therapy. He has also been invited to Barcelona to pitch his innovation to EIT Health partners. Well done Jean-Francois!
