.@jarottingen: “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.”

[John-Arne Røttingen @jarottingen]

We at @wellcometrust 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. https://t.co/S1LXYDI4Md via @ft

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.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨

This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.

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 @TheLancet gives vital new evidence. Read on for key takeaways ⤵️ [1/3]

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.

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.

Britain's prosperity depends on its universities -- but they have been perilously neglected.

@wellcometrust letter in @thetimes today ✍️🏻

Why should the new Govt spend money on science?

Lots of examples here of research that leads to economic growth and tackles global challenges.

A privilege to be able to provide an intervention for @wellcometrust, 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

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

Collaboration will accelerate the discovery of solutions to urgent health challenges.

Here’s why we’re excited to be partnering with @novonordiskfond and @gatesfoundation on a new initiative to support critical research and development.

[John-Arne Røttingen @jarottingen]

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. @wellcometrust is committed to doing our part. https://t.co/FeobUUAUQz via @ft

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

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]
