The Biomedical Campus

A Unique Place for Research

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus located on the southern edge of Cambridge, contains

1. the major University Teaching Hospital with 1100 beds and a comprehensive range of regional services, serving the whole of the east of England
   
   
2. the University School of Clinical Medicine, with its 12 Departments and associated Institutes, and
   
   
3. two directly funded Research Institutes – the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Biology (LMB), and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute which opens this year.  In addition to the MRC LMB, there are 5 MRC Units in Cambridge, of which 4 are located on the campus.

Unique neighbours

Within the local environment are the University's main Biological science campus on the Downing Site in the centre of Cambridge, with its great strength in relevant underpinning biological science disciplines, whilst to the south are the Babraham Institute (funded by the BBSRC) and the Hinxton Genome Campus with the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the European Bioinformatics Institute.

 

A Unique Cluster of Biomedical Excellence

This co-location in Cambridge of a major Regional University Hospital, University Medical School and Research Institutes on a single campus, together with these surrounding strengths in Biological Science in a 5 mile radius is unusual within the UK and offers an exceptional, if not unique, environment for the highest quality collaborative biomedical research, and its translation.
