Having already shown commitment to academic medicine by obtaining their PhD, the CSF award supports them through their postdoctoral training and provides them with the resource to establish a small research team.
The Fellowship programme was launched in summer 2013 with the recent recruitment of two fellows. Dr Navita Somaiah, a new CSF, is using her particular combination of medical expertise and laboratory research experience to devise better ways of making radiotherapy even more effective than it currently is.
