Gold medal for DNA fingerprinting

Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys has received a Gold Award from the Association of Colleges (AoC). Sir Alec studied biochemistry at Merton College, Oxford, and then in 1997 moved to the University of Leicester, where he developed genetic fingerprinting and DNA profiling.

The AoC Charitable Trust presents Gold Awards to just six recipients each year, to recognise the vital role of further education in the careers of the winners, and their continuing achievements in their chosen careers.
