2009 Award Winner: Molly Stevens

In January 2010 the Executive Editorial Board of Polymer International and the IUPAC Polymer Division announced that the second Polymer International-IUPAC Award for Creativity in Applied Polymer Science or Polymer Technology was awarded to Professor Molly Stevens of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Imperial College London, UK.

As the prize winner, Stevens receives USD 5000 and the opportunity to present her award winning keynote lecture at the IUPAC World Polymer Congress—MACRO 2010, 11-16 July 2010.

Professor Stevens has developed novel approaches to tissue engineering that are likely to prove very powerful in the engineering of large quantities of human mature bones as well as other vital organs. She formerly held a postdoctoral position in the field of tissue engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, with Robert Langer.
