The 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is home to some of the world’s foremost institutes and organisations genomics and computational biology. We bring together a diverse and exceptional scientific community in a culture and environment that fosters creativity and rewards bold, ambitious thinking. We are committed to delivering life-changing science with the reach, scale and imagination to solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges.
The Campus is managed and operated by Genome Research Ltd (GRL), a Charity registered in England. GRL was established in 1992 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Wellcome Trust. In 2012, the Wellcome Trust Board of Governors agreed to place all activities on the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, including the Sanger Institute, under the auspices of GRL in order to facilitate the development of a long term and coherent strategy for the Campus and all activities on it.
The ambition of GRL over the next 20 years is to strengthen its well-established scientific foundations and to build on them, such that the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø becomes an international centre for scientific, business, cultural and educational activities emanating from Genomes and BioData. To achieve this vision GRL’s Mission is to:
- Advance understanding of biology using genome sequences and biodata.
- Apply genome science for human health and other societal benefits.
- Foster discussion of the scientific, medical and wider implications of genomes.
