Dame Molly Morag Stevens DBE, FRS, FInstP, FCGI, FREng, FRSC, FIMMM, FRSB, FRPharmS[4] (born May 1974) is Professor of Biomedical Materials and regenerative medicine and Research Director for Biomedical Materials Sciences in the Institute of Biomedical EngineeringatImperial College London.[2][5][6][7]

Early life and education[edit]

Stevens was born in Nottingham.[8] She studied at the University of Bath, where she graduated with a First Class Honours BPharm degree in 1995. She subsequently obtained a PhD degree from the University of Nottingham in 2000 for research using atomic force microscopy to investigate adhesion and mechanics.[9][10]

Career and research[edit]

Following her doctoral research, she moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Imperial College in 2004.[7]

In 2004 Stevens founded The Stevens Group, a multidisciplinary research group of bioengineers, materials scientists, chemists, biologists, physicists and surgeons.[11]

Honours and awards[edit]

2010: In 2010 she received the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) award for creativity in polymer science,[12] the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining Rosenhain Medal[13] and the Norman Heatley Award for interdisciplinary research from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).[14] She serves as an Associate Editor of ACS Nano.[15]

2013: In 2013 she presented the Woolmer Lecture of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. In 2013 she was awarded the prestigious Karen Burt Memorial Award from the Women's Engineering Society, given to the best newly chartered woman in engineering, applied science or IT.[16]
