“The Academy is different. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds, continues to write independent reports on topics of immense importance, and has lobbied to maintain the considerable ties in science that have been developed across the EU. Most of the Academy’s funding is given for specific projects, which is why Helix group donations are so important, because they give the Academy complete freedom in what it does. I am delighted to be a member of this group that supports the vital work of the Academy.” ~ Sir Charles George FMedSci

“I am a member of the Helix Group and have donated to the Academy’s recent appeal to try and meet the shortfall in income during the pandemic. I feel it is important to support the Academy because of the important work they do in supporting and advocating for the medical sciences through workshops, report writing, lobbying and supporting our early career researchers.” ~ Professor Janet Lord FMedSci
~~~
“I am extremely proud to be a member of the Helix Group and to support the Academy. As a previous Member of Council and several of the Academy’s Committees I have seen close-up the support given to early career researchers, both clinical and non-clinical, and the impact this has” ~ Professor Edwin Chilvers FMedSci

The Academy is fortunate to have worked with a number of individuals and foundations who have chosen to support our work through major philanthropic gifts.
Dennis and Mireille Gillings Foundation
In 2018 the Academy of Medical Sciences received a pledge of £600,000 from the Dennis and Mireille Gillings Foundation towards a pilot programme to develop two cohorts of innovative new leaders in medical science. The FLIER programme has now supported 35 individuals in two pilot cohorts - discover the programme here.
Dr Mireille Gillings, neuroscientist, business entrepreneur and founder of HUYA Bioscience International said: “Future leaders in the biomedical and health sector will need to be brilliant scientists that can manage money and medicine. I am confident that the FLIER programme will give researchers expertise in what I call the 3M’s - management, money and medicine. Skills across the 3M’s will help get new drugs to patients faster. We are delighted to contribute to this new programme that will help fill this gap.”
Yusuf and Farida Hamied Foundation
The Hamied Foundation UK-India Antimicrobial Resistance Visiting Professorship Scheme supports the travel and subsistence costs of UK researchers visiting India to develop long-term collaborations on the highly important topic of antimicrobial research. The grant also includes funding for two scientific meetings on antimicrobial resistance, one in the UK and one in India.
This innovative new scheme was announced in Autumn 2017 as part of a wider initiative aiming to tackle antimicrobial resistance, championed by Professor Dame Sally Davies DBE FRS FMedSci, Chief Medical Officer for England and generously supported by the Yusuf and Farida Hamied Foundation.
The Daniel Turnberg Memorial Fund established by Lord and Lady Turnberg
The Daniel Turnberg Memorial Fund was set up by Lord and Lady Turnberg in memory of their late son Daniel Turnberg, a doctor and researcher with a keen interest in fostering links between the UK, Israel and the Middle East.
The Fund supports both short-term exchange visits between the UK and the Middle East and wider networking conferences. These enable early- and mid-career scientists in the UK and the Middle East to experience an alternative research environment, learn new techniques and develop ideas for future collaborations.
The Academy gratefully acknowledges the generosity of all the organisations who provide valuable support for our work, through core donations, programme or project support.
