Strategic award

The Wellcome Trust biocentre received a major strategic award in integrated biosciences, totalling £3.5 million from the Wellcome Trust.

The award will enable the biocentre to purchase the latest state-of-the-art equipment including the fluorescence activated cell sorters needed to separate different types of living cells from one another, the most advanced and powerful light microscopes for studying the detailed architecture of living cells, and a second X-ray diffractometer to solve the structures of proteins in atomic detail.
