A centre for research into genetics at Edinburgh University is to benefit from almost ?60m of funding.
The money, from the Medical Research Council, will help scientists gain fresh insights into conditions such as cancer, arthritis, and schizophrenia.
The grants could also help doctors develop and deliver new tests and therapies for patients.
Edinburgh University said its Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine is already one of the largest in Europe.
The funding - paid over the next five years - aims to consolidate the IGMM's position as a world leader in genetics research.
