| Title | Simons, Benjamin David: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Date | 21 April 2021 |
| Description | Certificate endorsing election of Benjamin Simons as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Includes personal details of the elected Fellow, citation giving the reasons for election, and names of proposers. Signed by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton. |
| Citation | For translating concepts and methods from statistical physics to gain predictive mechanistic insights into biological processes; for uncovering the role of common stochastic self-renewal programmes in the regulation of adult stem cell fate during tissue homeostasis and repair; for uncovering conserved principles of development, from the branching morphogenesis of ductal tissues to the patterning of the intestinal epithelium; for elucidating the patterns of cell fate during tumour progression; for profound theoretical contributions to the understanding of quantum processes at the mesoscopic scale; for influential studies of emergent phenomena in many-body quantum systems, correlated light-matter systems and atomic condensates.For translating concepts and methods from statistical physics to gain predictive mechanistic insights into biological processes; for uncovering the role of common stochastic self-renewal programmes in the regulation of adult stem cell fate during tissue homeostasis and repair; for uncovering conserved principles of development, from the branching morphogenesis of ductal tissues to the patterning of the intestinal epithelium; for elucidating the patterns of cell fate during tumour progression; for profound theoretical contributions to the understanding of quantum processes at the mesoscopic scale; for influential studies of emergent phenomena in many-body quantum systems, correlated light-matter systems and atomic condensates. |
