Michael Mosley Fellowship Fund
​
Advancing the future of research into metabolic health in memory of Dr Michael Mosley.
​
To honour the memory of British broadcaster, author and science journalist, Dr Michael Mosley, a new clinical research fellowship will be established to help improve the nation’s metabolic health. The Mosley family, in partnership with King’s College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF), have pledged to continue research that embodies Dr Mosley’s mission to help people live longer, healthier and happier lives.
​
Michael Mosley’s wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, says: “Michael was most proud of the work that he did in helping people to improve their metabolic health. It is an issue he felt passionate about. It is increasingly clear that improving metabolic health decreases your risk of multiple chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and more.
​
The Mosley family are thrilled that this Fellowship will continue in his name to improve so many people’s lives.”The Mosleys have been working with King’s College London and the CDRF, who will administer the Michael Mosley Memorial Fund, to appoint a dedicated research scientist, a Clinical Academic Fellow, who will work directly with the patients in hospitals and healthcare settings to discover the challenges they face, and determine the most practical changes that can improve metabolic health.
​
If you wish to support this initiative, your donation will have a significant impact, regardless of its size. The more funds we raise, the more permanent the Fellowship and legacy can become.

Fund a project
The CDRF funds many research projects at King's College London using TwinsUK data. The data collected over 30 years could be used to investigate almost any area related to chronic disease and ageing. The CDRF, unlike other charities, will accept suggestions for disease areas to study - depending on the donation size.
Research posts are of particular importance to us. If we can secure a researcher's salary for 3 or 5 years, momentum can be maintained across several projects.
​
If you want to know how you could fund a research project, contact us. We would be delighted to discuss how your donation could be used for important medical studies.
