Scientific advisory panel members

Scientific Advisory Panel

The work of the Scientific Advisory Panel is integral to MRF’s success. It ensures that the Charity only funds research of high scientific merit, which is relevant to our research strategy, original and likely to succeed.

Panel members are international scientists working at the top of their respective fields, conducting world-wide research and generously giving their time and expertise for free. They bring great insight and dedication to the funding process. MRF is enormously grateful for their commitment, which can only serve to further research into meningitis and septicaemia.
