We are delighted to establish our new Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology @EdinburghUni and grateful to @wellcometrust for support. @SBSatEd @WTcell
Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ wellc.me/416bBjJ
