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...

What it does: based in Swindon, York, Cambridge and Portsmouth, 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...

Description: InterMine provides a software platform to integrate disparate biological data sources and query them effectively, enabling researchers to run analyses across data sets that otherwise might not have been cross-queryable. InterMine is open source, so any research group dealing in similar data sets can re-use it for their own data. A registry of existing InterMine instances can be found at http://registry.intermine.org.

Support: The core InterMine team in Cambridge provides support...

UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 5,000 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...

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 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 UK Polar Data Centre, based at the British Antarctic Survey, is the UK's national data centre for polar and cryospheric science. It is part of the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) Environmental Data Service (EDS) - https://nerc.ukri.org/research/sites/environmental-data-service-eds/.

Our main goal is to ensure that environmental data collected in the polar and cryospheric regions are made available and accessible to all in order to fully realise their reuse potential. This...

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...

Provides Confocal, SR, FLIM and Electron microscopy resources to the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre.

In Vitro imaging of embryos and cells that do not tolerate transport to external core facilities.

On site imaging allows researchers to multitask during longer duration sessions.
