For decades, Professor Ken Stacey, the Founding Director of the School of Biosciences, dedicated his life to nurturing scientific talent and building a School where students could thrive. Whether you were directly taught by him or benefitted from the School’s success, Professor Stacey’s influence continues to shape the School of Biosciences and the careers of its students today. We invite alumni to honour Professor Stacey’s legacy by supporting The Stacey Fund, which directly helps students secure critical laboratory experience and opens doors to future opportunities in science.
The Stacey Fund was established to provide financial support to students from low-income backgrounds, ensuring they gain hands-on laboratory experience without financial burden. By funding work placements, the Stacey Fund enables students to build essential lab skills and confidence, allowing them to pursue postgraduate studies or enter competitive scientific fields. Alumni working in science will appreciate the importance of securing such laboratory experience, and your support can help the next generation of scientists follow in your footsteps.
Through donations to The Stacey Fund, alumni make a lasting impact on students like Camilla Edmonds, who secured a lab placement that would have otherwise been out of reach. The fund has also supported exceptional experiences such as Amy Gallimore’s Amazon research and the Kent iGEM Team’s international success. By donating, you are helping current students access opportunities that will shape their futures, while also carrying forward Professor Stacey’s enduring legacy.
