Wales Gene Park is funded by Welsh Government, through Health and Care Research Wales, as an infrastructure support group which is hosted by Cardiff University. Our mission is to promote and facilitate Welsh medical genetic and genomic research and its application to improve health and wealth in Wales and beyond. Also, We aim to engage the public and health professionals to improve understanding of the opportunities and challenges arising through genetics and genomics, and work to support the...

PETIC is a multimillion pound state-of-the-art positron emission tomography (PET) facility, which is the first of its kind in Wales and one of the most advanced in the UK. We provide a clinical service to the Welsh NHS, a private patient service to most private healthcare providers, research scans for multi-centre and commercial trials and pre-clinical and radiochemistry research for the academic collaborators and lifesciences industry. We also produce GMP certified radiotracers such as FDopa...

The Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy (WCUS) is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser facility comprising beamlines with experiments ranging from the ultraviolet range, through the visible and infrared, to the terahertz regime. This facility is a joint project between the Physics and Chemistry departments at the University of Warwick. The femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond experiments possible are important to understand the dynamical motion of charges and vibrations in photophysical...

Associated with the Wellcome Trust-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science (IMS) and funded by a Wellcome Major Award, the Wellcome Trust-MRC IMS Translational Research Facility (TRF) is dedicated to clinical research into metabolic disease. Our vision is that with dedicated state-of-the-art facilities and highly skilled staff, the TRF will support delivery of a portfolio of world-leading experimental medicine research, building on existing strengths in clinical science in obesity, insulin resistance...

The Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory (WAO) is a Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Regional station located on the north Norfolk coast, UK. It was established in 1993 by the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) with funding from BP (Norway) plc and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). It receives support from the National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS) and contributes to NCAS’s NERC funded national capability through the provision of the...

Synchrotron radiation has revolutionised our understanding of materials; enabling the elucidation of structural properties across the atomic and mesoscopic spatial length scales. This information is essential for exploiting the next generation of materials; ranging from the fundamental science of materials physics and chemistry to applications in cultural heritage, biomaterials and healthcare. Adding temporal resolution and studies under realistic conditions are crucial in areas such as...

The Nanocentre’s vision is to be a world leading interdisciplinary centre for dynamic and collaborative materials research on the nanoscale, underpinned by innovative instrument development in electron and scanning probe imaging and spectroscopies. It is a joint venture between Chemistry, Electronic Engineering and Physics at the University of York. The Nanocentre provides essential advanced electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy facilities for materials research and characterisation...

YNiC provides neuroimaging and neurostimulation facilities to a broad range of users and across multiple platforms.
