Ciao for now, Milano 👋🍕🇮🇹

We’ve joined 17 other UK organisations as initial signatories of the Concordat for the Environmental Sustainability of Research and Innovation Practice – and launched a new funding policy in the process. 🧵⤵️ [1/5]

We need to double down on international collaboration for solving global health challenges. Even more so when political tensions weaken battle against the biggest diseases. Wellcome is committed to doing our part. ft.com/content/108dc9… via @ft

Collaboration will accelerate the discovery of solutions to urgent health challenges. Here’s why we’re excited to be partnering with Novo Nordisk Foundation and Gates Foundation on a new initiative to support critical research and development. 🧵[1/6]

A privilege to be able to provide an intervention for Wellcome, focusing on three things the #UNGA high level meeting can deliver to transform response to AMR: 🎯An ambitious political goal 🔬A scientific evidence panel 📈Follow-up mechanisms to track progress

NEW:🧪Wellcome's UK Manifesto for Science🔬 We've published our asks for the next Government, setting out how the UK can support research for domestic and global impact. Our 3⃣ priorities 👇🧵 wellcome.org/what-we-do/pol…

Congratulations to Professor Edith Heard from everyone here at Wellcome! We look forward to working with you to build on The Crick's successes and Sir Paul Nurse's remarkable legacy.

Britain's prosperity depends on its universities -- but they have been perilously neglected. Wellcome letter in The Times and The Sunday Times today ✍️🏻

We're thrilled to announce the opening of the CREATOR building at the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Research Programme. This new facility marks a major milestone in a 30-year healthcare partnership between Africa and Liverpool, aiming to transform research and training in Malawi.

Lord Darzi's review is a powerful reflection of the state of the NHS. Among this, he highlights that research and innovation have not been a high enough priority in the NHS. Couldn't agree more (1/2)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat. Without urgent action, bacterial AMR will account for three deaths every minute between 2025 and 2050. The latest GRAM report in The Lancet gives vital new evidence. Read on for key takeaways ⤵️ [1/3]

First author and yet Rosalind Lee doesn't deserve to be named on the Prize? 🤔 Rosalind & the two winners were the only three authors on the paper that Nobel cited! Once again, #WomenInScience ignored.

We at Wellcome have joined many UK science organisations in signing a letter to the chancellor ahead of the budget at the end of the month. It is crucial that the UK has stable, predictable investment in R&D, not wasteful stop-start funding. ft.com/content/fc00e5… via @ft

.John-Arne Røttingen: “We are committed to investing in a well-functioning research system in the UK. So if we see there are threats to the research budget, we will be very vocal in calling out the need for proper investment.”
