Influencing health and lifestyle

‘With the new ‘super’ cancer centre it’s an exciting time to be at Birmingham. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK and the prospect of finding a breakthrough is truly rewarding.’ Elisabeth Shawcross, 3rd Year PhD Cancer Studies.

Birmingham excels in critical health and lifestyle research. With your support we can have still greater and faster impact:

• Cancer – join us and together we can discover innovative treatments for many forms of cancer
• Obesity - ensure that this is not the first generation where children will die before their parents
• Healthy ageing - invest in our work to help ensure that old age is enjoyed and not endured
• Brain injury – help us to develop novel treatments to rehabilitate those with brain injury
