The Cambridge Epidemiology & Trials Unit (CETU) received provisional registration status as a UKCRC accredited Clinical Trials Unit in August 2017. Under the leadership of Professor Nick Wareham and Dr Esther van Sluijs in the University of Cambridge, School of Clinical Medicine, CETU leads high quality research with international impact. The CETU is hosted by the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.  We also have dedicated clinical facilities...

The Earlham Institute Advanced Training infrastructure provides a programme of events, aimed at life scientists who are engaging in increasingly data-driven research, specifically those related to -omics techniques. The increasing trend for large-scale research projects means, in areas such as genomics with fast-moving technological advancements, that higher education curricula often fails to keep pace. This leads to skills gaps in recent graduates who are often missing the vital combination of...

PomBase is a comprehensive Model Organism DataBase (MOD) database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe or fission yeast). Fission yeast is a eukaryotic model species used to study many cell biological processes relevant to humans (for example: cytokinesis, DNA replication, cell cycle, gene expression, membrane biology,  and chromosome segregation).  Over 75% of its 5000 proteins are conserved to human, mainly those which are critical to maintaining a single cell. Over 1400 ...

The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) is an internationally-recognised centre of expertise in digital curation with a focus on building capability and skills for research data management. The DCC provides expert advice and practical help to research organisations wanting to store, manage, protect and share digital research data. The DCC is led by the University of Edinburgh and operates as a multi-site consortium. 

The DCC runs the world-leading data management planning service DMPonline which...

JASMIN is a globally-unique data analysis facility. It provides storage and compute facilities to enable data-intensive environmental science. Over 1600 users are currently supported, exploring topics ranging from climate change and oceanography to air pollution, earthquake deformation and analysis of wildlife populations.

Centred more around storage and data analysis than a "traditional" supercomputer, JASMIN provides flexibility for a wide range of data-intensive analysis workflows. Several...

What it does: we are the national lead on aerial investigation and mapping and set the standards for the professional, academic and volunteer sectors. We undertake, manage and provide expert advice on programmes of aerial reconnaissance and air photo interpretation in order to discover, record, characterise and monitor archaeological sites, historic buildings, and landscapes. We use sources including historic and modern aerial photographs, satellite imagery and airborne laser scanning data...

The Natural Environment Research Council  (NERC) Environmental Data Service (EDS) provides a focal point for NERC's scientific data and information.   The EDS consists of a network of environmental data centres.  These centres hold data covering all aspects of environmental science, gathered from environmental scientists working in the UK and around the world. The EDS are responsible for maintaining environmental data and making them available to all users, not just NERC researchers but others...

The MTC was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO). Its primary focus is to ensure that great ideas become reality and don’t fall into the manufacturing abyss known as the ‘valley of death’.

It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and, after four years of planning and a 16-month build, the facility opened at Ansty Park in Coventry at the end of 2011. It exists to prove innovative manufacturing processes and...

With most global research becoming computational in some way, our cluster at the University of Bradford offers a HPC Service to streamline largescale numerical modelling, machine learning and big data. From researchers to business enterprise, the HPC Service enables health data analytics, fluid dynamic modelling, digital reconstruction, and expansive archaeological initiatives as well as providing support to lower the technical bar of entry to HPC.

Overview

• 300 processors in total with...

What it does: based in Swindon, York and Cambridge, the teams undertake analytical field survey extensive landscape survey. We apply close observation, critical analysis and accurate measurement based on wide experience to support carefully considered interpretations. By doing this we help people appreciate the richness of place, make the obscure clear and encourage all to appreciate, value and protect historic places. We work with relatively small complexes of earthworks and ruined structures...
