COVID-19 research at the Sanger Institute
We are committed to tracking, understanding and combatting COVID-19. Our staff sequence thousands of virus genomes and use the data to trace transmission, inform public health measures and monitor for new variants of the virus. We also work to understand how the virus interacts with our cells, and to develop new diagnostics
Looking to return to science after a career break? Apply for our Janet Thornton Postdoctoral Fellowship
At the Wellcome Sanger Institute, we are committed to enabling and opening routes back into science for those who have had a break from scientific research - for any reason. The Janet Thornton Fellowship offers scientists who have taken a career break the opportunity to return to research with a high-quality postdoctoral fellowship.

#GenomicsNation
Sanger International Fellow @chewapreecha is working to understand the genetics of the bacterium that causes #melioidosis 🦠
It's a disease so overlooked, it doesn't make it onto lists of #NeglectedTropicalDiseases, despite affecting 165,000 people a year
A forgotten disease
How genomics is helping to understand melioidosis – a neglected, often fatal, bacterial disease.
