Niamh Burke receives 2025 RMS Early Career Award

The RMS was delighted to present the 2025 Early Career Award to Niamh Burke earlier this week.

Niamh, a PhD student at University College Dublin, won the award during the Early Career Symposium at mmc2025 in early July, where she gave a talk about her work on the enderscope community project - co-developing accessible imaging tools with the public. She was one of three short-listed candidates who gave talks at the event, emerging as the winner after some tricky deliberations by the judges.

Niamh, who is a member of the RMS Early Career Committee (ECC), joined fellow members at the RMS offices in Oxford for the group's latest meeting on Tuesday (16th Septmber). It presented the perfect opportunity for ECC Chair Katherine Paine to present her with the award amid the distinguished surroundings of the RMS library.

The Eary Career Award Competition takes place annually to recognise the achievements of an outstanding early career imaging scientist in their contribution to microscopy, image analysis or cytometry.
