Biomedical Scientist of the Year 2020 - Dr Guy Orchard
Upon winning this year, IBMS Fellow and consultant Biomedical Scientist Dr Guy Orchard, said:
"It is a tremendous honour to receive this award. I was nominated in respect of two innovations I researched in my laboratory and which are now commercially available products worldwide. I feel very strongly when people say that biomedical scientists do not do research, we definitely do and our work has the potential to make a significant contribution to our diagnostic services.
I was therefore delighted when my laboratory-based research and product innovations received this recognition by my peers and my professional body."
You can watch Guy win Biomedical Scientist of the Year 2020 below.
