University & Research Institutes

The University of Cambridge is consistently ranked in the top five universities in the world. The School of Clinical Medicine is housed in multiple buildings across the CBC and comprises 12 Academic Departments, four Research Institutes and five Medical Research Council (MRC) units. It conducts internationally excellent peer-reviewed basic, clinical and translational  research relating to a diverse range of medical conditions and treatments.

The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB) is a world-class research institute dedicated to understanding important biological processes, providing the knowledge needed to solve key problems in human health. The Institute has made revolutionary contributions to science such as pioneering the sequencing of DNA and the development of monoclonal antibodies. Eleven Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work carried out by LMB scientists. Since 2013 the Institute has occupied a purpose-built, £212 million facility on the Campus with state-of-the-art facilities and a unique scientific culture.

Project Capella is a new building containing state-of-the-art laboratories currently under construction for the University of Cambridge. Capella brings together researchers working on the immune system and stem cells as well as on collaborative and translational research. Capella will be home to three institutes – the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, the Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID), and the Milner Therapeutics Institute. The building will contain state-of-the-art research facilities along with a café, seminar room and exhibition space for events and will bring together 650 members of staff who are currently located across a number of university sites.

Built by Kier Construction and designed by architects from The Fairhurst Design Group, the six-storey centre will be located directly next to the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute on Puddicombe Way.
