1834 Fund: Help us lead the health revolution
Understanding health through medical research has been a key endeavour throughout history and here at Newcastle we are building on our world renowned biomedical research strengths to revolutionise the treatment of disease and health care. To do this, we must continue to nurture the expertise within our research teams and support career pathways for students studying our undergraduate medical and postgraduate research programmes.
We know that early stage researchers are the life blood of our work: they take an idea and develop the evidence sufficiently to a point where it is likely to attract greater funding that can lead to significant advances. With philanthropic support, we believe we will be able to increase our research capacity and understand much more about how diseases develop and how they might be cured.
The 1834 Fund was established in 2009 to celebrate the founding year of the original School of Medicine and Surgery in Newcastle. So far we have raised over £250,000 to support studentships in disease areas such as Parkinson's, dementia, diabetes and mitochondrial disease.
