A charity has donated £2m to the University of Exeter to help fund the development of a new approach to treating the world's most serious diseases.
The Wolfson Foundation awards grants to support excellence in science, medicine and other fields.
The money will go to the University's Living Systems Institute - which will look at the processes cells go through, to try and discover their involvement in causing disease in humans and plants.
