The government has endorsed the Rosalind Franklin Institute’s science plans for the next 5 years with a visit last week from Minister for Science, Innovation and Investment, Chris McDonald MP. The institute will benefit from a new £67 million investment.
The Rosalind Franklin Institute and Henry Royce Institute will share £162.7 million of public funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) for the next five years to build on their record of improving lives and driving growth.
Professor Paul Matthews, Director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute, said: “We are delighted to have the strong endorsement of the UK government for our future plans. The Franklin’s work over the next 5 years will build a new generation of imaging, chemistry and AI tools that let us see disease processes clearly enough – from single molecules to whole organs – to identify disease earlier and confidently ‘drug the currently undruggable’.”
