UCL community wins Wellcome image awards

Two members of the UCL community are amongst the winners of the 2009 Wellcome Collection Image Awards. The awards recognise the creators of the most informative, striking and technically excellent images among recent acquisitions to the Wellcome Images collection of medical and historical imagery. This year sees 19 images awarded in three categories: biomedical, illustration and photography. Theresia Hofer is currently studying for a PhD at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL. She is a social and medical anthropologist and her work focuses on 20th-century Tibetan medicine. She spent a year carrying out field research in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Theresia bought her first camera, a Nikon, aged 16, to document her immense curiosity about different places and people.
