An award-winning University of Cambridge researcher died in the Spanish train disaster while on her way to collect a prize for scientific excellence.
Dr Marta Shahbazi was travelling to an awards ceremony on Wednesday when the train she was on crashed into another near Urda, south of Madrid, killing 69 people.
"Marta was an inspiring, talented and passionate scientist whose research shed light on the earliest steps in the development of human embryos and how errors occur that lead to failed pregnancies," the LMB said.
