Around 900 people work at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. In this section you can learn about some of the key personnel that run our organisation, as well as the influential figures from our history.

The Sanger Institute is a genome research institute primarily funded by the Wellcome Trust.

We use large-scale sequencing, informatics and analysis of genetic variation to further our understanding of gene function in health and disease and to generate data and resources of lasting value to biomedical research.
