MARC VENDRELL
Marc graduated in Chemistry at the University of Barcelona in 2007 before joining the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium to work with Young-Tae Chang in synthetic fluorophores for optical imaging. In 2012 he started his independent career as an Academic Fellow at the University of Edinburgh to develop translational chemical probes for imaging in humans. His research has been recognised with several distinctions and awards, including SEQT Young Investigator Award (2007), SBIC Chairman's Prize (2010), ERC Consolidator Grant (2017), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2017), Marcial Moreno Lectureship (2018), FLIER Fellowship from the Academy of Medical Sciences (2019), SRUK Emerging Talent Award (2019) and UoE Principal's Medal Award -as part of the STOPCOVID team- (2020). He holds a Personal Chair of Translational Chemistry and Biomedical Imaging and is the Chemistry Lead for Translational Healthcare Technologies at the College of Medicine in Edinburgh.
