Welcome to the participant 2024/25 newsletter
The last twelve months have seen UK Biobank go from strength to strength, as you will see from all the brilliant stories in this year’s newsletter.
We have more researchers working with more of our data than ever before, making discoveries which could revolutionise how we understand human health.
We have also been delighted to work with a wide range of funders, supporters and stakeholders who help to make our work possible.
We hosted two Secretaries of State for Science, Innovation and Technology in 2024. First, Michelle Donelan in February and later Peter Kyle in July, who was joined by Science Minister, Lord Patrick Vallance. The second visit was part of a new funding announcement for UK Biobank from the UK Government and Amazon Web Services of £16 million.
After having a tour of UK Biobank and meeting two participants, Peter Kyle commented “you can’t not be inspired and totally energised.”
All of our work is thanks to you, our participants. Thank you once again for your support.
