Screenshot from the CoREs news story, highlighting a quote from Professor Patrick Chinnery, Executive Chair of MRC. Text reads as below:

'A new way of funding bold and ambitious science

"The MRC CoREs are a new way of funding bold and ambitious science that seeks to advance our ability to understand diseases, diagnose them at an early stage, intervene with new treatments and prevent diseases of the future.

They will focus on bringing together the brightest scientists to tackle diseases of major medical importance, so that they will really change the landscape and improve the health of the nation."'
