The ABSL is a flagship ~£17M investment by the University of Leeds (with an additional ~£1M of funding from the Wellcome Trust in 2016 and again in 2020) in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) for structural molecular biology and biomedicine. It was formally opened in January 2017 by Dr Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust.

We offer equipment access and expertise to researchers from our University and beyond, welcoming external users...

The AMF was established in April 2014, following a review of NCAS’s ground-based facilities and the service they provided to the community. Its remit is threefold: (i) to deploy instrumentation and provide a quality-controlled data product for field measurements; (ii) to provide underpinning laboratory facilities for calibration and experimentation; and (iii) to provide access to NCAS field sites for guest instrumentation. In 2018, under the direction of NERC, AMF merged with its sister facility...

Auchencorth Moss Atmospheric Observatory (AMo), is a research infrastructure sited on an ombrotrophic peatland at 270 m elevation in South East Scotland (55ᵒ47’36”N, 3°14’41” W), which is managed by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH). It is used primarily to carry out research on atmospheric composition, surface-atmosphere exchange of pollutants and studies in carbon catchments.

The landscape of Auchencorth Moss was first used in 1994 to study fluxes of methane (CH₄) gas. In 1995...

ALSPAC is a multi-generational study that began as a pregnancy/birth cohort. In 1991 and 1992, 14,500 pregnant women living in and around Bristol were recruited into the study. Detailed data have been collected on these women and their partners (the original parents, known as G0) and their children (the index participants, G1). In recent years the study has also enrolled the children of the children (G2).

The overarching objective for ALSPAC is to maintain its position as the premier multi...

The University of Nottingham and University College London collaborate to lead the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) Tissue Directory and Coordination Centre, which is the UK's Node within BBMRI-ERIC. The Centre is led from the Advanced Data Analysis Centre at the University of Nottingham and supported by a team at UCL. It's work is guided by an Advisory Committee of external members from academia, industry, medical funding bodies, and regulatory agencies. The Centre supports the work...
