HGU funding boost

The MRC Human Genetics Unit (where we are located) has successfully secured funding for another 5 years from the UK MRC, totalling £46.3M, as reported by the BBC and others. This is the culmination of a ~18month process from preparations for review, review of research proposals, a site visit by a review panel and subsequent negotiations over the final financial settlement. Our group lived to fight another day – but we’re glad it’s over!
