A senior lecturer in School of Chemical Engineering & Analytical Science at the University of Manchester in the UK is the lucky recipient of a Research Development Fellowship by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
Biochemist Dr Gillian Stephens received one of 16 fellowships - with each being awarded up to £1.7m. Lasting between three to five years, they allow researchers to focus entirely on their research.
Stephens will use her fellowship for biofuels research.
Minister of State for Science and Innovation, Lord Drayson, said: "It is vital that we nurture scientists throughout their careers, as they will be essential to helping us tackle the major challenges we face."
