If you are a researcher and want to know more about the people driving innovation and change, then look no further than these six impressive women.
In all industries there are the movers and shakers whose work often leads to the evolution of what is possible and the reimagining of what could be. The field of research, perhaps more than most, embraces those who are of a curious mind and have a vision for the future, think of people like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin and Alice Ball.
In the 20th century, these women were at the forefront of the research space and their work has gone on to impact the lives of people today as much as it did when first shared. But who are the movers and shakers of today? Who are the women driving the research answering life’s most pressing questions?
