We are a charity partner in the grant, funded by Medical Research Council (MRC) and the NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), to expand the QUOD biobank and infrastructure. We are helping to raise the profile of QUOD to encourage more people in the research community to make use of this excellent resource.
