A Milton Keynes charity has jointly sponsored a prestigious award which will help a neurosurgeon progress his work to find a cure for brain tumours.
This comes after Dr Chao Li was named the Young Investigator of the Year by the British Neuro-Oncology Society (BNOS), in an award ceremony at the end of June.

Dr Li, a fellow in clinical neurosciences at the University of Cambridge, focuses his research on using advanced technology such as artificial intelligence to improve clinical treatment.
He said: “I am so honoured to have my work recognised by the panel and the research community.
“Many hours have gone into learning new techniques and developing research expertise.
“I am thrilled and encouraged to further develop my research to benefit brain tumour patients.”
Dr Karen Noble, Director of Research, Policy and Innovation at Brain Tumour Research added: "We are proud to be able to support him with the Young Investigator Award.’
“Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.
“Working together with charities and the Government, we are leading the way in enhancing both research and clinical practice.”
