Sir Alec Jeffreys

In May 2016 Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys FRS Hon FRSB, inventor of DNA fingerprinting, shared his inspiring story with Dr Alison Woollard FRSB and an audience of over 300 people at a special fundraising event for the Royal Society of Biology at the Science Museum in London.

Supported by Unilever, the event raised £6,500 which will go towards our charitable aims.
