Justin has been awarded the Alfred Tissières Award of
Cell Stress Society International. This award is presented every two years to a young investigator in the field of cellular stress and heat shock, and is named after one of its pioneers. Part of the award is a copy of George Band’s book “The Road to Rakopashi”, describing the expedition of the Cambridge Mountaineering Club that Alfred led in 1954 to climb this fabled peak.
