Caroline Susan Hill FMedSci (born 21 October 1961) is a group leader and head of the Developmental Signalling Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute.[4][5][6][2]

Education[]

Hill was educated at North London Collegiate School and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a first in Natural Sciences in 1984.[citation needed] She was an undergraduate at Trinity Hall, Cambridge and then did postgraduate research at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, then known as New Hall, and was awarded a PhD in 1989[7] for research supervised by Jean Thomas.[8]

Career and research[]

Hill moved to the Cancer Research UK (CRUK)[9] London Research Institute (now part of the Francis Crick Institute) in 1998, to head up the Developmental Signalling Laboratory.[10] In November 2016, she was interviewed on the BBC World Service, along with the Crick's chief executive Paul Nurse about the future of biomedical research.[11]

Awards and honours[]

Hill was elected a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2002[1] and a Member of the Academia Europaea in 2013.[12] In 2015, she was elected a Fellow of the .[13] In 2019, she was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.[14]
