We are committed to training the next generation of pioneering genome scientists and clinicians At the Wellome Sanger Institute, near Cambridge, we give students all the tools they need to succeed in the field of genomics research.
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Women are represented in diminishing proportions as career levels progress and significant numbers of women leave science altogether. Scientists from marginalised groups such as LGBT+, BME and disabled scientists also do not achieve success at the same rates as their counterparts. With partners on the Wellcome Genome Campus we explore these issues, look to inspire researchers, develop discussion and drive change in current practices and policy.

Campus Connections
The Sanger Institute is sited on the Wellcome Genome Campus at the very heart of a global hub of fundamental and applied genomic research, education and engagement. The Campus is home to some of the world’s foremost institutes and organisations using genomes and biodata to deliver science with the reach, scale and imagination to solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges and maximise societal benefit
- Our Vision
- Science
Science
Our science is organised into six Scientific Programmes, each defining a major area of research with a particular biological, disease or analytic focus. In all cases, the studies provide insights into human, pathogen, cellular evolution, the phenotypic and hence biological consequences of genome variation and the processes which cause mutations.

- Sanger Seminar Series
Sanger Seminar Series
Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020-2021 we hosted a series of monthly freely available and open virtual seminars, showcasing how our researchers are tackling some of the greatest challenges in human health and disease. From using genomic approaches to map all cell types in the human body, understand how cancer develops, and track the evolution and spread of global diseases, our senior scientists and faculty presented the latest developments in their field.
