Accelerating
life-changing breakthroughs
The Medical Innovation Fund is supporting life-changing research in cancer, dementia and infectious diseases. These are illnesses that are devastating lives across the world, but with your support, we can make a difference.
Invest in the
future of medicine
Cancer is taking too many of our loved ones. Dementia is robbing people of who they used to be. And antimicrobial resistance means that sometimes we can’t treat terrible diseases. Without medical research, the outlook is troubling. But with your support, together we can create a happier and healthier future.
By investing in medical innovation you can help us to save and improve more lives. Your support will enable new research to happen faster, by funding postdoctoral research, PhD positions and equipment.
Cancer
