Discover how the Wellcome Sanger Institute has been at the forefront of spatial research, exploring how trillions of cells organise, communicate and work together to form a human being. For more than 15 years, Sanger scientists have pushed the boundaries of modern genomics, helping to map the human body in greater detail – cell by cell.
In this blog, we hear from Wellcome Sanger Institute PhD student James McCulloch about his favourite invertebrates, the springtails, and their extraordinary cryptic diversity.
We explore how genomics is helping researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute to unpick the tangled world of parasitic worms.
Sepsis is a killer, responsible for 20 per cent of all deaths around the world. Yet the condition is notoriously difficult to study. Dr Emma Davenport and her team are using genomics to uncover the biological mechanisms at work.
Histologists are the people who make the invisible visible. While their work often happens quietly behind the scenes, it is essential to everything from basic biology to scientific breakthroughs. These are the unsung heroes of the lab – and Yvette Hooks, Senior Technical Specialist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, is no exception.
