The Quadram Institute is at the forefront of a new interface between food science, gut biology and health. It will develop solutions to worldwide challenges in food-related disease and human health, and bring together the interdisciplinary teams and work with appropriate international organisations to address these major issues.
Clinicians will work alongside scientists conducting fundamental and applied research in a new single purpose-built, state-of-the-art building. Genome scientists, microbiologists, immunologists, gut biologists, mathematicians, clinicians, food scientists and nutritionists will link with each other across the fundamental and translational research pipeline: from lab to bedside, food to plate, and diet to health to deliver scientically-validated and clinically-tested strategies to improve human health and wellbeing throughout life.
The new Institute will build on recent understanding of how food and the gut microbes interact, which is creating a fundamental shift in the way we understand and address the impact of food on health.
