75th anniversary exhibition

Free display in the Lightbox, until December 2011

2011 marks the 75th anniversary of the Wellcome Trust. As part of our calendar of celebrations, this free display showcases the work of some of the influential people who have contributed to the living history of the Trust.

This display features eight people who have been central in helping us pursue our vision of achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health:

  • John Sulston, a key figure in the Human Genome Project
  • Eleanor Maguire, known for studying the neuroscience of memory in taxi drivers
  • Nick White, developer of the new leading treatment for malaria
  • Anne Johnson, pioneer of the NATSAL sexuality surveys
  • Roy Porter, a prolific and influential historian of medicine
  • Henry Foy, who led research on malaria and other tropical diseases
  • Helen and Kate Storey, the creators of the ‘Primitive Streak’ science–art project.

To find out more about these key figures, you can read their Wellcome Trust stories.

75 comprises illustrative lightboxes and prints taken from our world-class image library, Wellcome Images.

The exhibition runs until December 2011.
