AN Irish Nobel Prize-winning scientist is among a number of academics announced as a new fellow by Trinity College Dublin.
Donegal-born Professor William C Campbell was given the honorary title during one of the university's oldest annual celebrations on Monday.
Late last year, the 85-year-old scientist was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine along with Japanese scientist Satoshi Omura.
Born in Ramelton, Co Donegal, Professor Campbell was educated at Campbell College in Belfast before graduating from Trinity in 1952.
He now works as a research fellow at Drew University in New Jersey, USA.
The Trinity graduate was one of two honorary fellows announced by their old university this year.
The other was Professor Louise Richardson, newly appointed vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford.
Some 50 new Scholars, 14 new fellows and 10 new professorial fellows were also announced at the beginning of the annual Trinity Week.
They are given the titles for demonstrating exceptional knowledge and understanding of their subjects.
