Dr Wijethilake, who recently completed her PhD, was awarded the PPIE and Second Runner-Up awards in the iCASE Translational Fund Competition at the MRC DTP Symposium. The MRC DTP supported her throughout her PhD, including awarding her supplementary funding for PPIE activities and to support her transition from PhD to postdoc.

“Thrilled to have received the 2nd Runner-Up Prize in the MRC iCASE Translational Fund Competition and the Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement Prize at the DTP Symposium yesterday!
I’m incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received from the MRC DTP over the past 3.5 years — from fully funding my PhD, to awarding supplementary grants twice, as well as providing opportunities to present at symposiums. These experiences made my PhD journey truly rewarding and enjoyable. "
