The mission of the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM) is to undertake internationally competitive research into the processes underlying normal cell and molecular biology and to determine the mechanisms by which these processes are perturbed in inherited and acquired human diseases. It is also our mission to translate this research to improve human health. The WIMM is uniquely placed among biomedical institutes throughout the world in its pioneering vision of combining outstanding clinical research with excellent basic science. The WIMM Faculty currently includes an equal mixture of scientists and clinicians working together and in collaboration with the National Institute of Health Research, the NHS and commercial companies with the aim of improving the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The major topics of current research include haematology, immunology, stem cell biology, oncology and inherited human genetic diseases. <\/p>\n
The Institute values communication with members of the broader scientific community and the general public and with the support of the MRC we have commissioned three short videos to explain our mission. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The following awards and a fellowship have recently been announced for WIMM researchers. Andrew Wilkie - Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award, Alison Simmons -Wellcome Trust New Investigator Award, Adam Mead - MRC Senior Clinical Fellowship, Rui Monteiro - BHF Intermediate Basic Science Research Fellowship, Marella de Bruijn, Catherine Porcher and Wojciech Niedzwiedz have all been awarded the title of University Research Lecturer in ... <\/p>\n
