The PRF invites applications each year for the James Gear Fellowship award. Details regarding this are available on this website.
The PRF recently was able to contact a number of the twenty past recipients of this prestigious award inviting them, with the benefit of hindsight, to submit a review of the impact the James Gear Fellowship had had on them personally and their careers in virology.
Reviews have been received from:
- Prof Barry Schoub
- Prof Clive Gray
- Prof Duncan Steele
- Prof Patrick Arbuthnot
- Dr Batsirai Mabvakure
- Dr Jinal Bhiman
- Prof Lynn Morris
- Dr Kabamba B Alexandre
Each of these reviews may be accessed using the links provided.
It is evident that without exception, receiving the James Gear Fellowship has had a major positive effect in the lives of the recipients.
The PRF thus encourages candidates who believe they meet the necessary criteria to consider applying for a James Gear Fellowship.
