The Medical Research Foundation is the charitable arm
of the Medical Research Council – the UK government
funder of medical research.
With support from generous members of the public
and the scientific community, the Foundation funds
promising medical research that tackles some of the
greatest human health challenges in the UK – helping
the brightest scientists of today and tomorrow to invest
in the medical research our society will need for years to
come.
The Foundation has a focus on supporting scientists
at the early stages of their careers, so they can go on to
make life-long contributions to our health and wellbeing
in the UK, and on investing in areas of science that are
underfunded or where there is significant potential to
change lives.
In an ever-changing world, medical research provides
a rational approach to preparing for an uncertain future:
funding the science that future generations will depend
upon. Please give your support today..

FOUNDATION FOR LIVER RESEARCH
HELP US FIGHT LIVER DISEASE
We all know that too much alcohol is bad for the liver
but just how much is too much? And did you know
that obesity is just as significant a cause of liver
disease? And for those drinkers who are overweight,
the impact on the liver is even more damaging.
Scientists in the Institute of Hepatology, funded by
the Foundation for Liver Research, are investigating
the mechanisms of liver damage from lifestyle injuries
of excess alcohol and obesity, as well as hepatitis
B, gut-liver and brain-liver interactions, and the
impact of alcohol and other hepatotoxic injuries.
They are also looking into the contribution of general
environmental factors and genetic susceptibility
to liver disease.
ONE IN 10 PEOPLE WILL DEVELOP LIVER DISEASE
Liver disease is the only major cause of mortality which is
on the increase in the UK - last year it killed more people
than diabetes and road deaths combined. Sadly, in too many
cases diagnosis comes too late for effective treatment.
Please consider a donation, or a legacy in your Will,
to the Foundation for Liver Research, to support
research by the Foundation’s team of scientists.
You may be helping someone you know have
a better chance of surviving liver disease.
The Foundation depends on donations to fund its
research. Please help us continue our work.
