Celebrating women in STEM
It’s Ada Lovelace Day – an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
I Am A Biologist
This biology week celebrates the amazing worlds of bioscience. We asked some of our staff to tell us about their work, and why they love biology.
Biodiversity genomics event returns
This free and open event brings together international researchers to share breakthroughs, challenges and advances in how we apply genomics to understanding, utilising and protecting life on Earth.
Butterflies, peacock spiders, and rapid speciation
Dr Joana Meier, new group leader in the Tree of Life programme, describes her research into how and why groups of animals evolve and diversify into new species over millennia.
From genomes to vaccines: lessons from the pneumococcus
Decade-long surveillance of a deadly bacterial pathogen has shown how genomics can be used to design effective vaccines and combat antimicrobial resistance.
Finishing genome puzzles
Explore the skilful art of interpreting genome sequence data - from the human genome project to all species.
Unlocking surface proteins
A decades-long interest in cell surface proteins has led to discoveries as diverse as how malaria parasites invade human blood cells, a vaccine target for a neglected tropical disease, and finding the molecules that must interact to initiate new life.
Searching for the roots of childhood cancer
Meet Thomas Oliver, trainee pathologist and PhD student, working on the origins of childhood cancers.
Breath of fresh air
Dr Josie Bryant is a new group leader at the Sanger Institute. She is interested in how microbes in the human lung evolve and adapt over time and how this affects health and disease. We spoke to Josie about the inspirations behind her science, returning to Sanger, and what excites her about establishing a new research group.
