Help us discover the cures of tomorrow
IHMRI researchers are discovering better ways to understand, prevent and treat disease and illness. There are many ways you can support our research into pressing health challenges such as cancer, dementia, mental illness and heart disease.
You can also show your support by following us on Twitter and Facebook, or keep up-to-date on our research, events and fundraising activities by subscribing to our community e-newsletter.

Make a donation
Health and medical research is very expensive and many vital projects are not always fully supported by government funding. Your donation can really make a difference. You can also decide what areas or researchers you would like to support.

Participate in clinical trials
You can make a difference to health and medical research. Help IHMRI researchers find better ways to treat disease and illness by getting involved in clinical trials.
