We are thrilled to announce that Professor Lori Passmore, Official Fellow of Clare Hall and a distinguished structural biologist based at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, has recently been recognised with two major honorary awards.

Professor Passmore has been appointed Honorary Professor of the University of Cambridge, effective from 1 October 2025. This title reflects her outstanding contributions to science and her long-standing engagement with the University community.

In addition, Aarhus University in Denmark has awarded Professor Passmore an Honorary Doctorate in recognition of her groundbreaking research into the cell’s molecular machinery and her close collaboration with the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University. The honorary degree was formally conferred during the University’s annual celebration on 12 September 2025.

I have had many productive interactions with some amazing scientists at Aarhus University over the years and it is therefore an incredible honour to have been awarded an Honorary Doctorate. I hope this will lead to many more productive collaborations.

Clare Hall extends warmest congratulations to Professor Passmore on these prestigious honours, which recognise her exceptional scientific achievements and international collaborations at the frontiers of molecular biology.
