L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Fellows 2024

The L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science UK & Ireland Rising Talent Fellows 2024 were announced at an event at the Houses of Parliament on 19 March 2024.

Each Rising Talent has received a grant to support a 12-month period of research. The awards have been designed to provide flexible and practical financial support for winners to spend on scientific equipment, paying for childcare, travel costs or indeed whatever they need to continue their research.

  • Dr Sara Keller is a Glasstone Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. Her research involves developing ultrasound molecular imaging probes for the rapid diagnosis of bacterial infections with the aim of creating new tools for image-guided interventions. Sara received her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington, Seattle.

“As a company founded by a scientist over 100 years ago, L’Oréal, together with UNESCO, is committed to driving gender equality in STEM and recognising the exceptional work of female scientists who are vitally contributing to solving the challenges of tomorrow.

"Congratulations to this year’s Fellows who are a true inspiration for generations to come.”

Thierry Cheval, L'Oréal UK and Ireland, Managing Director

“Congratulations to this year's L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland For Women in Science Rising Talent fellows. Giving a platform and visibility to women scientists is everyone's responsibility, Government, civil society, and business, because if you cannot see it, you cannot be it. Neither the UK, nor the world, can successfully respond to the pressing environmental and societal challenges without unleashing the knowledge and capability of women scientists.”

Rt Hon Caroline Nokes MP and Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee
