LONDON(TIP):  An Indian origin biochemist Priyanka Joshi has been named alongside the likes of actress-turned-royal Meghan Markle, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and bestselling author J K Rowling as the 25 most influential and aspirational women in the UK by ‘Vogue’ magazine.

Joshi has been chosen for her cutting-edge research in the inaugural ‘The Vogue 25’ list released on May 31st, which includes artists, activists and executives across different fields.

“Priyanka Joshi had barely completed her PhD when ‘Forbes’ named her one of the most important young faces in science. A research fellow at Downing College, Cambridge, the 29-year-old sits at the cutting edge of Alzheimer’s research, and has been praised for her ground-breaking work building a ‘library’ of drug-like molecules to target irregular proteins that cause degenerative brain diseases,” notes the citation on the young biochemist.

“With dementia now the leading cause of death for women in England and Wales, her early breakthroughs and research could not be more vital,” it adds in reference to Ms. Joshi, who completed her MSc in Biotechnology from University of Pune before moving to the UK.
