THE JEAN SHANKS FOUNDATION

The Jean Shanks Foundation was created by Dr Jean Shanks in 1986 when she floated JS Pathology PLC, a private pathology laboratory, onto the London Stock Exchange. The Foundation was set up to fund medical research and education, primarily to fund medical students wishing to have an extra research year at medical school - this research must have a pathology focus. Grants continue to be made to medical students but are also available for other projects that the trustees consider to be worthwhile.
