The Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research was admitted into the University of Oxford’s Chancellor’s Court of Benefactors in October in recognition of its generous contributions to medical sciences at the university, which has hosted a Ludwig Institute Branch since 2007 under the directorship of Xin Lu. Membership in the Court is a high honor offered to individuals and organizations that the legendary university considers its most significant supporters. Chairman of the Ludwig Institute’s Board of Directors Edward McDermott—shown here with Xin and Sir John Bell, former Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford and a trustee of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Charitable Trust—attended the admissions ceremony and will represent the Ludwig Institute at the Court of Benefactors.
