Spinning out the science
Much of our research has the potential to positively impact people's lives around the world. And who better to deliver this than the scientists themselves?
Fighting Pathogens with Data and Partnerships
"Data analysis in genomics means that you can work in something that is meaningful."
Genomic surveillance – the world’s binoculars focused on infectious diseases
Monitoring the microorganisms that cause COVID-19, malaria, cholera and a whole range of other diseases enables researchers to track outbreaks, spot emerging drug resistance and plan interventions.
20 Things We Learned in 2020
This has been a year that none of us will forget in a hurry. The Institute is immensely proud of the way our staff have pulled together, and the work we have managed to achieve
Genomes within Genomes
Hiding in the genome of a newly-sequenced red colobus monkey, there was a second species - a parasite descended from malaria.
New tools to tackle malaria: translating from cutting edge research to real-world applications
This World Malaria Day we look at three ambitious projects, backed by the Sanger Institute Technology Transfer Office, which are tackling areas key to eliminating malaria.
Science on a bike
One man, one bike, and lots of genomics.
Flying to the Future
Dr Sophie Adjalley is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Marcus Lee's research group at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Her research focuses on investigating the underlying mechanisms of malaria.
Malaria Cell Atlas: mapping a murderous parasite’s life cycle
Malaria - and the parasite that causes it - is complicated. Not only does the single-celled parasite move between humans and mosquitoes, but it exists in different forms, each with different shapes and functions. Researchers have now mapped out its life cycle in more detail than ever before.
