Jodrell Chair of Physiology
The Jodrell Chair of Physiology is a chair at University College London, endowed (shortly before the Jodrell Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy) by Thomas Jodrell Phillips Jodrell in 1873.
The endowment was for the sum of £7500 (equivalent to £847,513 in 2020), with a further £500 for equipment.[1][2] This endowment was acknowledged in the final report of the Royal Commission on Scientific Instruction in 1875.[3]
The first holder was John Burdon-Sanderson after the post received the Jodrell endowment.[4]
