The Francis Crick Institute is dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and disease. We explore why disease develops and help to translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Crick is a place for collaboration and innovation - we break down barriers between disciplines to create a space where some of the most talented and ambitious scientists in the world can pursue big and bold ideas.
