The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine was founded in 1891 and is one of the UK’s oldest medical charities. Originally a Research Institute developing, and subsequently producing on a commercial scale, vaccines and antitoxins it has over the years adapted to the changing research environment; always seeking to support research in an innovative way. Today, from its endowment funds, it is a grant-giving charity whose principal award is the Lister Research Prize Fellowship. The Institute has sought to retain the ‘Lister family’ tradition and remains in touch with all its former and current Fellows. Please visit our website to find out more about our History
