It is also always good to have news of former MHRUK scholars. Dr Jyothika Kumar (2014 John Grace QC Scholarship), has been awarded the 2019 Margaret Temple award for research into schizophrenia by the BMA Foundation for Medical Research. This is what she said about her award: “It's very exciting, my first ever research grant and first project as a PI! We will be recruiting and scanning around 100 patients with schizophrenia with varying clinical symptoms in order to identify which patients will be best suited to a specific type of intervention.”
