In March 2000 Imperial College London announced the creation of the Imperial College Genetics and Genomics Research Institute. The College's press release said the new institute "will provide an identifiable focus for the mass of genetic- and genomic-related research currently underway throughout the College. It will focus the research of over 450 Imperial staff (with an annual grant income of £25 million) currently working in fields related to genetics and genomics."[1]

The contact at the foot of the release was Tom Miller, Imperial's director of communications.[2] Miller is a trustee and director of the Science Media Centre.[3][4]

In 2005 Imperial announced a research alliance with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and biotech company Affymetrix. Imperial's press release said, "The agreement will expand use of Affymetrixs microarray technology by Imperial and the MRC to target conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer by analysing the genetic variations associated with them. Researchers hope this detailed understanding of how disease is caused at a molecular level will speed up translation from the laboratory to clinical trials, ultimately leading to new therapies."[5]
