Dementias Platform UK Data Portal  (DPUK Data Portal) holds detailed information on more than 2 million individuals from over 50 long-term health studies, known as cohort studies.

By joining data from all these cohort studies, we provide a secure, integrated and collaborative environment, where scientists from academia and industry can share knowledge and conduct joint research programmes, subject to strict governance permutations.

The portal is the technology hub of Dementias Platform UK...

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 Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh's extensive Herbarium numbers approximately three million specimens, representing half to two-thirds of the world’s flora. It is a leading botanical collection, with researchers from around the world visiting to study our specimens in a well-designed and user-friendly setting.

The collection is actively used to support research at RBGE and other institutes around the world. Each year we receive visits from around 200 scientists and we send approximately 4...

Researchers at the University of Hull have recently started to explore how to alleviate heat stress in women exercising in hot conditions. The work, led by Dr Andrew Garrett will investigate how females respond and adapt to hot conditions, using a short-term heat acclimation regime that they have previously, successfully, used with male participants only (http://theconversation.com/elite-training-in-hot-conditions-for-competition-in-cooler-climates-a-hot-topic-45012). The facility is important...

The NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility maintains and provides a pool of state-of-the-art spectroscopy instruments for use by the UK research community. We are also develop and deliver training courses, development and improve EO instrumentation and work with national bodies in support of calibration/validation exercises. 

Our equipment pool contains field spectrometers; logging and field portable sunphotometers; UAV sensors including a hyperspectral imager with LiDAR, Sentinel 2/WorldView...

The Long Term Monitoring Network (LTMN) was set up in 2009 to record, analyse and predict environmental change in the United Kingdom. The overarching focus of the network is to understand long term air pollution and climate change impacts on biodiversity of high quality semi-natural habitats, and to that end long-term data collection of physical, chemical and biological variables is carried out using strict protocols across 37 sites. Comprehensive co-located datasets detailing vegetation, soil...

We provide large-scale computing resources to help University of Bradford scientists and collaborators carry out computational and data intensive research across all fields.  

As cutting-edge research becomes increasingly computational, the High-Performance Computing (HPC) Service supports University of Bradford researchers to take research to the next level. Whether with academic collaborators or industry partners, through consultancy or contract research, we accelerate computationally...

The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland is a group of industry-led manufacturing research and development facilities transforming skills, productivity and innovation in Scotland helping to make the country a global leader in advanced manufacturing.  

The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland is at the heart of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland in Renfrewshire. It is operated by the University of Strathclyde and supported by Scottish Government, Scottish...

The Generations cohort study was set up in 2003, to investigate the causes of breast cancer with exceptional focus, size and comprehensiveness, and also to investigate the causes of other cancers and causes of death in women. The Generations Study is of cohort design, recruiting volunteer women from the general population of the UK aged 16 years and older, who have completed an extensive questionnaire about breast cancer risk factors, given a blood sample, and given informed consent for follow...

The Cambridge Immunology Network is a  community for immunologists working in and around Cambridge. It builds on a rich tradition of immunological research in Cambridge, and brings together groups whose work ranges from discovery of the basic molecular mechanisms underpinning the immune response through to applications relevant to the clinic, to industry and to global health. Working across disciplines, schools, institutes and departments we can tackle bigger problems and answer more fundamental...
