WICB Medal Design

When in 2014 the BSCB committee decided to create a new award to specifically acknowledge the best female members of the UK Cell Biology Community at an early stage of their careers, a brand new medal seemed appropriate. You can find out more about the award and it’s recipients here.  The committee decided to have a competition to find a design for the front and back of this new medal.

The winner of the design competition was Dr. Veronica Ganeva, a former PhD representative on the BSCB committee.

Her original designs were done in pencil and refined to come up with a design that could be translated into a cast bronze medal.
