Donate to the Medical Innovation Fund to support life-changing research in cancer, dementia, and infectious diseases.

Your gift could make a big difference to people suffering with these devastating diseases. By supporting us to expand our teams and upgrade our equipment, we can work faster to save and improve more lives.

Without medical research, the outlook is troubling:

• Antimicrobial resistance is predicted to cause as many deaths as cancer by 2050

• One in two of us will get cancer

• Every three seconds, someone develops dementia

With your support, we can make a difference.

At Southampton we’re renowned for our work in medicine, from setting up the UK’s first Centre for Cancer Immunology, through to incredible work during the pandemic in leading trials and developing life-saving tests. And with University Hospital Southampton as part of our campus footprint, we’re in an excellent position to further medical research because of the access to patients and patient samples.

With upgraded equipment and larger teams, your gift could lead to the discovery of a new cancer treatment, a diagnostic tool for dementia or an antibiotic that can tackle deadly infections.
