Institutional Strategic Support Fund 2011/12. (360G-Wellcome-097829_Z_11_Z)

£500,000

The Wellcome Trust has awarded £1 million to continue its support of the successful interdisciplinary work of the Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders (C2D2) at the University of York. The Centre has supported research across a wide range of chronic diseases and disorders, including neurological and mental health disorders, chronic infections, cancers and chronic wounds. These areas have been approached from a wide spectrum of disciplinary angles - from molecular biology and biochemistry to history and sociology – and using a range of the latest technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging genomic sequencing, advanced computer simulations and low temperature plasmas. Over the next two years, C2D2 plans to build on this impressive record by continuing its support for new research, translational and public engagement projects. It will also initiate a number of new projects to support early career researchers to establish their research careers. In public engagement, the Centre will launch an innovative project in partnership with local York schools is to generate and then pilot new materials that will help to educate children about health, disease and disability.
