Giving to Medical Research

Understanding health through medical research has been a key endeavor throughout history and here at Newcastle our research teams are working hard to investigate the diseases and health issues that impact on all of us. 

Much of this work has been made possible through donations from individuals and organisations who share our values of building strong medical research teams and creating opportunities to encourage early stage research.  Funds raised by you help us go above and beyond what we can normally do; enabling us to buy the best laboratory equipment, develop new research facilities and provide studentships and fellowships for basic scientists and doctors.

You can find out more about what we do through the stories below.
