The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) is a charitably funded genomic research centre, nine miles south of Cambridge, UK. Research at the WTSI builds understanding of gene function in health and disease, creating resources of lasting value to biomedical research.
We are focused on understanding the role of genetics in health and disease. Our passion for discovery drives our quest to uncover the basis of genetic and infectious disease; Aiming to provide results that can be translated into diagnostics, treatments or therapies that reduce global health burdens.
Our genomic information has a significant impact on our health. Global health problems including cancer, malaria, diabetes, obesity and infectious disease are partially determined genetically. At the Sanger Institute we are uniquely placed to build on genome sequences and to engage in biomedical research that elucidates the genetic basis of such common diseases as well as rare or neglected diseases.
Our dedicated public engagement website provides a variety of resources that make learning about genomics interesting and accessible. Please visit
