The Museum thanks the EPA Cephalosporin Fund for its support of the Back from the Dead project and exhibition.
Generous loans were agreed by Imperial War Museums, the Science Museum, the Wellcome Library and the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. By providing an alternative to commercial insurance the Government Indemnity Scheme was vital in enabling these loans.
The project was developed in partnership with the Science Museum, London and the following departments of the University of Oxford: the Department of Chemistry, the Nuffield Department of Medicine, the Wellcome Trust Unit for the History of Medicine, the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology and the Oxford Martin School Programme on Collective Responsibility for Infectious Disease.
