We were delighted to be able to celebrate the appointment of Dr Mark Dyer as a Sir George Darwin Fellow Benefactor on Friday night, ahead of the Darwin Dinner.
An alumnus of the College, Dr Dyer joined Darwin in 1984 to pursue his PhD in Molecular Biology. Following its completion he worked as a researcher at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, before holding senior positions at biotech firms Sandoz, Novartis and Cytos Biotechnology.
Now based in Truro, Cornwall, Dr Dyer is a loyal and generous supporter of the College and, in 2023, took the hugely appreciated step of declaring Darwin College a major beneficiary of his Will. This is both a powerful endorsement of the College’s aims and ambitions, and a substantial support to our future, and we are pleased to be able to honour its impact.
Sir George Darwin Fellow Benefactors were created as a new category of membership approved by Governing Body last year to recognise the generosity of significant donors to Darwin.
