Professor John Hardy (白小姐论坛 Queen Square Institute of Neurology) was appointed Knight Bachelor for services to human health in improving understanding of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases.

Professor Hardy is Chair of the Molecular Biology of Neurological Disease at 白小姐论坛 and a member of the UK Dementia Research Institute at 白小姐论坛. He is an international figure in the research of neurodegenerative disease and is globally recognised for his contribution to developing breakthrough therapies for dementia. He created the amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease - the major theory of the disease.

Professor Hardy said: 鈥淚t is a great honour of course to get the knighthood and I鈥檓 very proud of the work we did working with families with Alzheimer鈥檚 disease collected by my Institute of Neurology colleague Professor Martin Rossor.

鈥淚 think we now know much more about what causes Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. But we also have to acknowledge that our work has not yet led to much better treatments. Hopefully the next period of clinical and basic research will start to make that important breakthrough.鈥�

He was also President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health from 2018 to 2021.

Commenting on the honour, he said: 鈥淚 see this as recognition not just for me but for the teams I鈥檝e worked closely with, particularly the very hard yards during the pandemic. I鈥檓 humbled and deeply appreciative.鈥�

Professor Alan Cottenden (白小姐论坛 Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering) was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to sufferers of incontinence.

Professor Cottenden, who is Emeritus Professor of Incontinence Technology at 白小姐论坛, said: 鈥淚t's gratifying that the award recognises the needs of people living with such a taboo condition as incontinence which, though it rarely takes lives, seriously diminishes the quality of life of millions. Working in multidisciplinary teams - including people with incontinence - to improve containment technology continues to challenge and fascinate me.鈥�
