Professor Lorna Casselton was an 1851 Research Fellow 1963-1965. During her fellowship she was based at UCL and researched Fungal Genetics-the genetics of diploid strains of Coprinus Iagopus. She went on to be a fungal geneticist of world renown, professor at Oxford University and Vice-President and Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. From 2001-2013 she was a very active member of the Commission's Science & Engineering Fellowship Committee. She was a regular attender at Commission events and many of our alumni, commissioners and staff remember her with great affection.
