The Michael Uren Foundation – Oriel donor profile
What’s your connection to Moorfields?
Our founder, Michael Uren, was passionate about eye heath. He enthusiastically supported
Moorfields’ and UCL’s London Project to Cure Blindness. This ground-breaking research to find a
cure for macular degeneration has helped to restore some patients’ sight and we’re very proud to
continue this support.
Why do you think it’s so important to support Oriel?
Oriel will address future eye health challenges with increasing demand, and by connecting
researchers and clinicians more closely, patients will get the best treatments possible.
What are you most excited about for Oriel and the future of eye health?
We’re very pleased to support Moorfields Eye Charity in creating this world-leading centre
for research and treatment of eye disease in the UK, and for them to share their results
internationally, for the benefit of all.
The Michael Uren Foundation has committed £15 million to support Oriel.
