A Cambridge research institute focused on basic cell and molecular biology and healthy ageing, offering PhD studentships through the University of Cambridge.
The Babraham Institute is a life science research institute. Its scientists study how cells and molecules work, with a focus on development and healthy ageing across a person's life.
It describes itself as "a world-leader in fundamental biological research investigating the systems that underpin development and healthy ageing". Its values are Benefit ("we make a difference"), Integrity ("we are open, honest, and inclusive") and Innovation ("we extend the boundaries of knowledge").
It is on the Babraham Research Campus, Babraham, Cambridge, CB22 3AT. The page shows a BBSRC logo, which indicates strategic support from that research council. We did not find a staff total.
It says it aims to give each individual an environment to thrive, and shows an Athena Swan Silver Award and the Technician Commitment. These are its own page claims.
For the 2027 intake, PhD studentships start in October 2027, with a deadline of 8 December 2026 and interviews in the week of 18 January 2027. Some are fully funded and some need your own funding. Applications go through the University of Cambridge portal. Two apprenticeship adverts also appeared on the government Find an Apprenticeship site, both now closed.
