The Physical Sciences Data-science Service is a National Research Facility which brings together tools and resources for UK researchers in physical sciences, including chemistry, crystallography, materials and related fields. It provides access to web-based data services are which are freely accessible for academic users from the UK.

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...

New 'omic' technologies have transformed biology by allowing scientists to read genomes (genomics) and to measure the amount of proteins (proteomics) or other chemicals (metabolomics) within living cells and organisms. Tiny amounts of DNA can be collected from the environment (environmental DNA, eDNA) to measure biodiversity and monitor the health of our soils, rivers and seas. This creates a tremendous opportunity to understand the diversity of different individuals and species within the...
