Together, by fully funding R&D for testing, treatment and vaccines, we can achieve COVID-Zero: no more preventable deaths, no more lockdowns and no more disruption.
Any Covid-19 vaccines, tests and treatments developed should benefit the whole world. We are working with the ACT-Accelerator and other international partners to make sure that happens.
We want to help the world overcome COVID-19. Research is the best way to save lives – but more investment in accessible treatments, tests and vaccines is urgently needed to change the course of the pandemic.
Every two to three years we survey over 2000 adults to understand public knowledge about and interest in science and health research.
Research on research (also known as meta-research, the science of science and meta-science) is the study of research itself.
Following the work led by Jim Smith in reviewing the way we support science, Wellcome is now reviewing its wider strategy.
Current practices prioritise outputs over people’s wellbeing. We want to help build a better research culture – one that is creative, inclusive and honest.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and data technologies are transforming research and healthcare. We want to make sure everyone benefits from health data innovation.
How Wellcome is working to ensure that research evidence is used to influence policy and practice.
Research is an essential part of being ready for and responding to public health emergencies, like COVID-19 and Ebola.
This is one of the world’s biggest hidden health crises. We want to transform the way snakebite treatments are researched and delivered to bring them into the 21st century.
Randomised clinical trials are essential to advancing evidence-based medicine and improving human health. But new guidelines are needed, which is why we've launched the Good Clinical Trials Collaborative.
Wellcome is working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to take on big challenges in global health.
Wellcome Leap is a not-for-profit organisation set up by Wellcome to accelerate discovery and innovation for the benefit of human health.
The world is decades behind on mental health. We are leading a radical new approach to drive the science forward and improve people’s lives.

Everyone should have access to the life-changing benefits of medicines and other healthcare interventions, like vaccines, diagnostics and therapies.
The Surveillance and Epidemiology of Drug-resistant Infections Consortium (SEDRIC) brings together a range of international experts to share expertise and take action to tackle the gaps in drug-resistant infections surveillance and epidemiology.
Science and health research should be open to anyone with a great idea.
Vaccines prevent disease, save countless lives and cut healthcare costs. We want to help develop new vaccines and work out how to use the existing ones in a better way.
