The Cambridge Immunology Network is a  community for immunologists working in and around Cambridge. It builds on a rich tradition of immunological research in Cambridge, and brings together groups whose work ranges from discovery of the basic molecular mechanisms underpinning the immune response through to applications relevant to the clinic, to industry and to global health. Working across disciplines, schools, institutes and departments we can tackle bigger problems and answer more fundamental...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge is one of the country’s largest and most important natural history museums, with over two million modern and fossil specimens covering the whole of the animal kingdom, with a global reach and through all geological periods where animals were found.
Embedded within the University of Cambridge’s Department of Zoology, and now physically sharing a building with the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (the world’s largest coming-together of international...

The Fitzwilliam Museum is the principal museum of the University of Cambridge, with an international reputation for the excellence of its collections, exhibitions and
public programmes. Our world-class collections and specialist staff provide a unique resource and distinctive environment for cross-disciplinary research.

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 3,200 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...

The Whipple Museum forms part of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. The Museum plays an important part in the Department's teaching and research. It was founded in 1944 when Robert Stewart Whipple presented his collection of scientific instruments to the University of Cambridge. The Museum's collection is Designated for its international importance and includes scientific instruments, apparatus, models, pictures, prints, photographs, books and...

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...
