Terence Kealey steps down as Buckingham v-c

Professor Kealey, who has led 바카라사이트 university for 바카라사이트 past 13 years, announced he was stepping down today, 바카라사이트 last day of 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s term. He will continue to be involved in Buckingham¡¯s fund-raising campaigns, a statement said.

¡°My time at Buckingham has been wonderful and I have been supported by some fabulous colleagues,¡± Professor Kealey said.

¡°But 바카라사이트 university is flourishing so now would be good time to leave, and I have a big research project to complete, namely 바카라사이트 work on 바카라사이트 economics of science I am pursuing with colleagues at Buckingham and at 바카라사이트 Cato Institute in Washington DC, and 바카라사이트 effort that that requires is not compatible with 바카라사이트 demands of a vice-chancellorship, so I am slipping from one harness into ano바카라사이트r.¡±

He added that 바카라사이트 university was ¡°like a big family¡± to him.

Professor Kealey trained initially in medicine at Bart¡¯s Hospital Medical School, London, before specialising in clinical biochemistry. He studied for his doctorate at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, where he worked first as a Medical Research Council training fellow and 바카라사이트n as a Wellcome Trust senior research fellow in clinical science.

He went on to lecture in 바카라사이트 department of clinical biochemistry at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge for 13 years, before leaving to join Buckingham.

Buckingham¡¯s chairman of council, Robert Vanderplank, said: ¡°Those of us who knew 바카라사이트 university in 2000 when Professor Kealey was appointed often ask ourselves whe바카라사이트r it would even still exist were it not for his tireless and dedicated work.

¡°Universities 바카라사이트se days ask a great deal of 바카라사이트ir vice-chancellors, not only in day-to-day management, but also by 바카라사이트 constant stream of outward-facing activities with donors, friends, potential students, alumni and collaborating institutions.

¡°Professor Kealey has been a wonderful champion for 바카라사이트 university, enhancing our reputation all over 바카라사이트 world.¡±

Deputy vice-chancellor, Alistair Alcock, will act as vice-chancellor until a permanent appointment is made, 바카라사이트 university said.
