We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won't be solved by science alone.

5. Embed our anti-racist and anti-ableist principles and involve minoritized communities when developing digital content.

Is this job for me?
