Investor profile

The Wellcome Trust is a London-based charitable foundation established in 1936 by Sir Henry Wellcome. It focuses on funding biomedical research to improve human and animal health, with an endowment of approximately £37.6–38 billion, making it one of the largest charitable funders of scientific research globally. The Trust operates independently, having divested from its pharmaceutical roots, and invests in various assets to sustain long-term grants. The Trust's mission is to support science that addresses urgent health challenges, including climate change, infectious diseases, and mental health. It has funded significant global scientific projects, such as the Human Genome Project, and continues to support thousands of scientists through grants. With a commitment to advancing biomedical sciences, the Wellcome Trust aims to foster equitable health solutions and deepen the understanding of life and wellbeing.
