The Peter Baker Fellowship Scheme has been established to commemorate the scientific contributions of P F Baker FRS. Peter carried out much of his important scientific work at the Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth and was a Member of the Council and Physiological Society Governor of the Association. The Fellowship is provided by funds contributed by individuals and Scientific Societies from all over the world. It is the intention of the Trustees that the Fellowship be held in Plymouth, to encourage the interest of young research workers in marine biological research, particularly fundamental physiological research, to which Peter himself contributed so much. The Fund is held in trust by the Physiological Society, the Company of Biologists and the Marine Biological Association.

The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom is Registered Charity No. 226063
