Congratulations to Dr Julia Ware (Hovorka group) who has been awarded the Milo Keynes Prize for the academic year 2024, on submission of her PhD thesis -The impact of closed-loop insulin delivery on glucose control in children and young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus: Longer-term benefits across the paediatric age-spectrum.
The award is in recognition of the very high quality of her thesis as recognised by the Degree Committee for the School of Clinical Medicine at the University of Cambridge.
Milo Keynes FRCS; MB BChir; MD; MChir; DM (Oxford) (9 August 1924 – 18 February 2009) was a General surgeon, medical editor and writer. He was also the Great-grandson of Charles Darwin, and a nephew of John Maynard Keynes. Milo studied at Trinity College before taking up his clinical studies at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. Following this time at St Bart’s, and back in Cambridge as a surgical registrar, Milo took a Nuffield Foundation Medical Fellowship in Harvard and the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. On returning to the UK, Milo held further positions at St Bart’s as a senior surgical registrar, the Nuffield University of Oxford Department of Surgery and the Radcliffe Infirmary before returning to Cambridge in 1973 as a part-time clinical anatomist. It was then that Milo became an editor of medical books and developed his career as a writer and historian. On his death, Milo bequeathed a sum to the University in order to establish the Milo Keynes Fund to support prizes for exceptional research.
