He has been a Visiting Professor, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, since January 1996; an Honorary Professor, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, University College, London, since April 2003, and a Visiting Professor, Division of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology, Dental Institute, King’s College London, since September 2016. He was a Distinguished Visiting Professor (2009-2015), and is now a Special Visiting Professor at the University of Hong Kong. He is President of the Institute of Animal Technologists. He was awarded a CBE in the 2018 New Year’s Honours List. We are studying how cells make these choices and the genes that direct their fate. We’re particularly interested in the stem cells that correspond to early embryo cells, which have the capacity to turn into many different cells types. We are also studying how specific structures, such as the pituitary gland or the brain, develop as an embryo grows, and how these come to contain tissue-specific stem cells, and in turn what controls the fate of these stem cells. The Bristol Coat of Arms was reintroduced for 1970/71 and was embroidered on to the shirts. This season City reached the League Cup semi-finals for the first time, losing to Tottenham Hotspur over two legs.

People get a bit nervous when you talk about club badges and I get it. I've been to funerals where people have been draped in the flag and I've seen people have it tattooed on their arm. During the initial research phase fans were keen to ensure this was a natural evolution rather than an overhaul. Supporters were proud that the club are one of the few in Rugby League that remained true to it’s original identity with no name change or Americanised badge introduced in the Super League era like many other teams. Yet they recognised that the club needs to evolve and move forward in the digital world.

Animals start life as a single cell: a fertilised egg that grows and multiplies to form millions of cells making up all the tissues and organs of the body. Along the way, cells need to decide what actions to follow, such as dividing or dying, or what to become - for example, whether to become nerve cells or supporting cells in the brain.

The same situation arose on January 3rd 1958, when City played Accrington Stanley away in the FA Cup third round. They drew 2-2 with Wally Hinshelwood and Dermot Curtis getting City’s goals. For the replay a few days later, the Robins once again borrowed Bristol Rovers kit and this time won 3-1, with Atyeo scoring two goals and Dermot Curtis getting the other. The crest which we know and love today, was designed for an analogue world, to attract and retain the next generation of supporters we have to evolve consider how we compete with the challenges of the 21st century and the digital world.Then the other half were saying let's go with the robin and let's be bold and brave, so we were left with the dilemma of how we keep these two schools of thought happy." The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) was formed during the 1881 Childers Reforms of the British Army. The 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot (raised in 1741) and the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot (raised in 1823) were redesignated as the 1st and 2nd battalions of The Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire Regiment). The Derbyshire and Royal Sherwood Foresters Militias (militia and rifle volunteers) became the 3rd (Robin Hood Rifles) and 4th Battalions respectively. These were joined by the 1st and 2nd (Derbyshire) and the 3rd and 4th (Nottinghamshire) Volunteer Battalions. The Headquarters of the Regimental District was established at Derby. In 1902, the Nottinghamshire association was made explicit, the name changing to The Sherwood Foresters (Nottingham and Derbyshire) Regiment. Following a series of mergers since 1970, its lineage is now continued by the 2nd battalion, the Mercian Regiment. Route refined and tested in multiple formats including retail product, digital work and a further group of supporters who were new to the project, with no prior knowledge of the journey so far.

From 1982, City continued to wear the traditional red and white kit and, from December 1983, a pure text “BC82” logo was used as their badge, representing the new company formed after the club’s survival. The process, which has taken two years from start to finish, has seen supporters aged 4 to 75 get involved alongside key partners, former players, and club historians. The 2022 Genetics Society medal is awarded to Robin Lovell-Badge. Robin will receive his Medal at a Society scientific meeting during the coming year. His work also includes a focus on stem cells. These self-renewing cells have the potential to transform into any other cell type and hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases. By studying the genes that confer these special abilities, Robin is examining how the decisions that determine the ultimate role of a cell in the body are made.initial concepts were presented with none hitting all the key parts of the brief that we had evolved enough. Fans showed a desire to push the club further and to future proof the change.

He was elected a member of EMBO in 1993, a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 1999, and a fellow of the Royal Society in 2001. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA, elected 2002), and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (elected 2011). He has received the Louis Jeantet Prize for Medicine (1995), the Amory Prize (Awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences) (1996), the Feldberg Foundation Prize (2008), and the Waddington Medal of the British Society for Developmental Biology (2010). In 1881 they became the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment), but they retained their title until the formation of the TF in 1908, when they became the 7th (Robin Hood) Battalion, Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment). Robin was elected a member of EMBO (1993), a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999), the Royal Society (2001), the Royal Society of Arts (2002), the Royal Society of Biology (2011), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (2018), and the Galton Institute (2018). He has received the Louis Jeantet Prize for Medicine (1995), the Amory Prize (1996), the Feldberg Foundation Prize (2008), the Waddington Medal of the British Society for Developmental Biology (2010), and the ISSCR Public Service Award (2021). He was awarded a CBE in the 2018 New Year’s Honours List.

Interest and expertise

Internal dialogue at the club begin around if and when should the crest be reviewed. Decision is made not to rush the process but explore options.
