Fungi are a cornerstone of all ecosystems. They have incredible potential to be beneficial, but can do harm.
We want to harness the power of fungi for human health.
That’s why we’re funding researchers to investigate how fungi adapt to their environment ⤵️ [1/4]
ALT Sumithra Robson, Senior Research Manager at Wellcome, says: "Understanding fungi's resilience could have incredible benefits, including for human health and food security."

New, highly requested, guidance from us @wellcometrust on how to discuss Research Environment in your application, and the kinds of things you might want to tell us about! wellcome.org/what-we-do/our-…

Our new Discovery Research funding call invites applications to advance understanding of how fungi adapt to their environment.
Applications are open now. Here’s what you need to know ⤵️ [1/4]
ALT A quote card featuring Vivianne Goosens, Research Manager at the Wellcome Trust. The quote reads: "Fungi are an underexplored cornerstone of all ecosystems. We want to understand how they adapt to their environment."
Thrilled to announce that @WellcomeTrust is funding research to uncover how fungi adapt to their environments! We want to understand the 'how, why, and when'. If you're interested or know someone who is, please share! 🧬🔬

Ever wanted to see how funding decisions are made? Why not join the team? @wellcometrust is looking for new expert to join our panels. The breathe of our remit is wide and we’re looking for experts from academic&non-academic settings wellcome.org/grant-funding/g…
Microbiomes influence and are influenced by our heath - but when it comes to interventions how does it all work from an ethical and regulatory perspective? Help @wellcometrust find out? Please share widely.
NEW RFP: Ethics, Regulatory Routes & Gut Microbiome-based interventions
Looking for suppliers to deliver analyses regulatory routes across different jurisdictions & on relevant ethics considerations across geographical and cultural settings. Details here

If a picture speaks a thousand words - you still need to take the picture. Lets find new ways to see how biology works. @wellcometrust just launched a bio-imaging funding call. Please share widely wellcome.org/grant-funding/s…
When looking at a genes we look at more than just As, Gs, Ts and Us - we're looking at our evolutionary history, medical present and potential weird and exiting futures. With all that comes implications - consider joining our conversation. We want to hear what you think:
How can we better integrate genomics and the ethical, legal and social contexts of genomics?
To find out, we're hosting workshops in London and Cape Town next year – and we'd like you to join us.
Submit Expressions of Interest by 17 November. Apply ⤵️

Hey twitter - it's been a while. Two years ago I kind of stopped tweeting. I went from very engaged, to quiet, and then absent. I left academia. At the time lots of people were also leaving, tweeting about it with bold confidence. I wasn't brave enough… (1/
I'm keenly aware how vital the movement of money is in moving science. I'm now @Wellcometrust in #DiscoveryResearch focused on directed activities (i.e. outside of the core schemes). I'm part of a group of people genuinely committed to funding exciting science. (5/
Very excited to see this story out there in the world nicely done @Marcus_waal and wonderfully tweeted @ProfTomEllis
In our work on engineered living materials, a question we ask ourselves is ‘How can we use synthetic biology to make materials more sustainable?’ In our new preprint, Marcus Walker @Marcus_waal answers this with ‘Bacterial Black Sheep’.
How? Read on… 🧵⬇️
