Earlham Institute

The Earlham Institute harnesses data-driven biology to accelerate solutions for health, biodiversity and food security. Combining world-class technology, interdisciplinary expertise, and training and development across genomics, engineering biology and data science, the Institute decodes the scale and complexity of living systems.

The Earlham Institute is one of eight Institutes that receives strategic funding from UKRI Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council, as well as support from other research funder

Driving life science research and innovation

Health challenges, biodiversity loss and food insecurity are some of the greatest challenges facing our society today. Research and innovation in bioscience have a critical role in building resilience to adapt and mitigate these challenges.

By advancing insights to predict the biology of any organism through its genome – the Earlham Institute is transforming the speed, accuracy and scale at which we can respond to these threats.

To deliver this, the Institute is home to two BBSRC-funded National Bioscience Research Infrastructures (NBRI) – Transformative Genomics and the Earlham Biofoundry

The NBRIs provide the UK bioscience community with access to cutting-edge tools, technology, and expertise in high-performance sequencing, single-cell analysis, lab automation, and large-scale experimentation.

These critical infrastructure sit alongside world-class computing facilities and an advanced scientific training programme, providing a unique combination of expertise, facilities, and technology to drive life science research and innovation.

Achieving impact through partnership

Working in partnership across academia and industry is crucial to translate fundamental research into societal benefit. The Earlham Institute engages across industries and sectors through strategic partnerships, research collaborations, contract research, and licensing.

From idea to innovation, the Institute is committed to working with academic and industry partners to translate science into meaningful outcomes, delivering solutions to industrial challenges and realising impact at scale.
