An Oxford-based scientist has won yet another honour for his ground-breaking work in the fight against cancer.
Sir Paul Nurse, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, has accepted the Walpole 2002 Humanitarian Award.
He is following in the footsteps of New York firefighters, who were given the accolade last year for their bravery during the September 11 disaster.
Sir Paul, 53, of Woodstock Road, Oxford, said it was a tremendous honour to receive the award.
