UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 3,200 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...

The Biorepository is a state of the art laboratory based in the centre of Addenbrooke’s Hospital, providing research support for studies and clinical trials locally and internationally. It operates under the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. It has expertise in supporting small research projects through to large multi-site national studies where it receives, processes, stores, retrieves blood and other research material. The facility has some of the most advanced automated...

The Astbury Biostructure Laboratory is our electron microscopy facility within the Faculty of Biological Sciences. We have a range of state-of-the-art equipment for transmission electron microscopy of biological specimens, from small macromolecular complexes to cell, tissues and organisms. 

Our facilities are available to researchers from across the University, as well as external users form academia and industry.

We specialise in structural biology, generating high-resolution data to...

Newcastle University’s new Biological Engineering: Wastewater Innovation at Scale (BEWISe) facility is the first of its type in Europe in large-scale wastewater treatment research using bacteria.  It is an international centre of research excellence and experimentation for wastewater management technology.

The facility is based at Northumbrian Water’s sewage treatment plant at Birtley, near Gateshead.  It will play a key role in improving how sewage is treated. It will do this by speeding up...

The Ada Lovelace Centre (ALC) provides computing hardware, builds software, and provides computational and data analytics expertise that will spark a paradigm shift in the capability of scientists to design, analyse and interpret experiments at relevant research infrastructures such as Diamond Light Source, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Central Laser Facility and Culham Centre for Fusion Energy. The ALC exists to: • Build capacity in advanced software infrastructure for the handling...

ADR Wales brings together world-renowned data science experts, leading academics and specialist teams within Welsh Government to produce evidence that shapes future policy decisions in Wales. ADR Wales is the focal point for data-related research in Wales and a major player in UK-wide efforts to transform research and policy environments. ADR Wales is a core element of the ESRC’s, via UKRI, ADR UK investment.

 ADR Wales unites specialists in their field from Swansea University Medical School...

Using new data sources and novel methodologies, the Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research analyses public sector data and explores what linking it in new ways can reveal. 

Comprising of researchers from a range of leading institutions across Scotland, the centre itself is hosted within the University of Edinburgh and directed by Professor Chris Dibben. Our research uses administrative data to examine issues from across society in Scotland and the UK, providing evidence-based...

We provide a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which are too large, too complex or too time consuming to be performed on a Desktop PC. In addition, we can support researchers in the use of Cloud...

Anvil provides a platform to enable researchers to test their software automatically. Regular Testing, Robust Software.  Further developments will enable testing on HPC infrastructures. Providing testing for research software enables better research as the quality of the software will be improved. Providing the links to testing on HPC and commercial clouds is a unique offering and is unlikely to be provided by others as it is niche. 

ARCHER is the UK National Supercomputing Service. It allows researchers to run calculations and simulations that require a large number of processing cores working in parallel. The computer demands for such simulations far exceed the computer power typically available to an institution like ours (e.g. a local cluster). ARCHER allows us to run ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere models that are at the cutting edge of the field. Generally, facilities like ARCHER enable the UK to be (and to remain)...
