This is a special scheme that will revolutionise research into the genetic and environmental factors that impact on human health and will be used to develop research into, and perhaps help to prevent or cure, conditions such as AlzheimerÆs disease, cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

The north-west of England has long been known the world over as a centre for scientific excellence. With a huge amount of investment being channelled into the area, including a donation of $50.7 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Manchester and the north-west was the ideal location for this project.

The area is no stranger to scientific breakthroughs and cutting edge research, as the manufacture of penicillin through to the splitting of the atom and the birth of the worldÆs first test tube baby first saw the light of day in the area!
