The Rosalind Franklin Institute
The Rosalind Franklin Institute is a new national institute, announced in 2017 by the UK government, dedicated to bringing about transformative changes in life science through interdisciplinary research and technology development.
The namesake of the institute, the pioneering X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin, was one of the key figures in the discovery of the structure of DNA, and used a technique with roots in physics and technology to transform life science. The Institute will follow in this spirit, developing unique new techniques and tools and applying them for the first time to biological problems.
Mapping the Brain’s Hidden Highways
The Rosalind Franklin Institute is supporting research across five core activity strands, working to develop new technologies which will allow researchers to see further into biological samples than ever before. In one of our strands, Correlated Imaging, led by Professor Angus Kirkland, work is progressing to develop a new pulsed...
