RMS Early Career Award-Winner Announced at mmc2025

Congratulations to Niamh Burke of University College Dublin, on winning the 2025 RMS Early Career Award at mmc2025.

Niamh was one of three short-listed entrants who gave talks on their research at the Early Career Symposium, which took place ahead of the main Congress and Exhibition in Manchester.

After some difficult deliberations, the judges chose Niamh as the winner, for her talk on the enderscope community project, co-developing accessible imaging tools with the public.

The Early Career Award recognises the achievements of an outstanding early career imaging scientist in their contribution to microscopy, image analysis or cytometry. This contribution may be through an impressive research application, development of techniques or analysis tools, an inspiring public engagement initiative, or a demonstration of exceptional support to other members of the community.  

It is awarded annually by the RMS Early Career Committee.
