The Wellcome Genome Campus is a scientific research campus built in the grounds of Hinxton Hall, Hinxton in Cambridgeshire, England.[2][3][4][5]

Campus

The Campus is home to some institutes and organisations in genomics and computational biology. The Campus is part of the Wellcome Trust, a global charitable foundation that exists to improve health, and houses the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), the bioinformatics outstation of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and a number of biotech companies whose UK offices are located in the BioData Innovation Centre acting as an incubator for businesses of all sizes.

Activities

At the Campus, genome and biodata research takes place. The Campus provides bioinformatics services and delivers training in genomics and biodata to scientists and clinicians.

History

The site hosted the Medical Research Council's Rosalind Franklin Center for Genomics Research[6] until its closure in 2005 and was the location where around one third of the human genome was sequenced.[7]

In addition to the research institutions, there are facilities on the Campus dedicated to training and conferences; these include the former Hinxton Hall buildings.[8][9]
