Addressing the Health and Wealth of Scotland

'It's in the family. My auntie had it and so did my granddad. Now my brother's gone down with it. What about me and my children?'

Cancer, heart disease, stroke, mental health problems and many other common conditions tend to cluster in families. It's all to do with the genes we inherit, the environment we live in and our lifestyle.

Generation Scotland aims to create more effective treatments based on gene knowledge.

Generation Scotland will be to the medical, social and economic benefit of Scotland and its people.

Generation Scotland is a unique partnership between the Scottish University Medical Schools, Biomedical Research Institutes, the NHS in Scotland and the people of Scotland.
