Buildings & Facilities

Incorporating the latest technologies, Warwick Biomedical Sciences' facilities support researchers enabling them to accelerate their work.

Computing and Advanced Microscopy Development Unit (CAMDU)

CAMDU is home to multiple commercial light microscopes and custom-built systems alongside Wellcome-funded lattice light sheet microscopy and visitor programme (coming soon); computational workstations, software development and petabyte data storage array are also in place.

Bioinformatics & Digital Health Support

Access to expertise in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, databases, web-based tools and decision support systems is available at the Bioinformatics & Digital Health RTP (Research Technology Platform). We carry out data analyses, software development, and are happy to support digital skills training for your staff and students, often using a 1-to-1 format. Please do not hesitate getting in touch or see us at one of our Bioinformatics Clinics.

Cyber-Infrastructure for Microbial Bioinformatics

Enterobase provides resources for analyzing and visualizing genomic variation within 1000s of Escherichia coli and Salmonella genomes. The MRC Cloud Infrastructure for microbial bioinformatics provides access to computing power, storage and bioinformatics tools.

Electron Microscopy

The University's Research Technology Platform houses a transmission cryo-electron microscope with in-column energy filter and a top of the line director electron detector and is a partner in the MRC-funded midlands Cryo-EM facility which will deliver access to 300Kv instrumentation.

Proteomics

The Proteomics Research Technology Platform undertakes collaborative projects with both UK and international academic or commercial institutions using protein profiling, quantitative proteomic studies, phosphorylation and post-translational modification mapping.

Zebrafish

Our 1200-tank aquatics system is built with support from the Warwick Medical School and the Wellcome Trust. The facility supports zebrafish research by groups across the University, to address questions of fundamental and biomedical relevance.
