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...

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 National Phenome Centre, initially funded by a 5 year grant from the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and led by Imperial College London and King’s College London, was founded in 2012 to deliver access to a world-class capability in metabolic phenotyping, to benefit the whole UK translational medicine community.

The Centre’s establishment enables us to take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity offered by the legacy of the 2012...

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...
