Dr Amanda Chaplin won the prize from the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine
A university researcher has been awarded a £250,000 prize for her work on how the body responds to DNA damage that can ultimately lead to cancer.
She said: "I'm very excited about the research... it has to make a real difference to cancer studies and other illnesses."Dr Chaplin, a molecular and cell biology lecturer, said: "The award means that research can continue at an even greater depth and intensity. "Our body contains the blueprint for life in molecules of DNA," she said. "Damage to these molecules occurs all the time and requires repair.
She added she hoped the research would help scientists to understand more about the damaged DNA, giving them the potential to develop therapeutics against cancer and viruses.
