We are a biomedical discovery institute breaking down barriers between disciplines.
About us
The Crick is a distinctive biomedical research institute. We’re committed to advancing, promoting, and sharing understanding of human health and disease. We do that by attracting talented and ambitious people from all disciplines and backgrounds and giving them the support and freedom they need to succeed. Inside the Crick, you’ll discover scientists working to stretch the very limits of what we know about how life works. Their research holds the key to answering fundamental questions about human health and disease. Our bold and innovative research projects bring together scientists and technicians from all disciplines in the pursuit of discovery without boundaries. With the support of our partners, we’re bridging the gap between discovery and application to help change lives for the better. And through our dynamic structure, we’re able to develop the science leaders of tomorrow. That’s our bold idea, tell us yours. Cover image taken at the Crick by Thomas Angus, Imperial College London.

Last week was our annual Bring Your Culture to Work Day, where people from across the Crick share their culture through food, drink, activities, attire, and in so many other ways 🌍 The evening featured traditional music and dance, a cultural quiz, and the return of Castellers of London who built a human tower right here in our atrium. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day such a resounding success!

Nearly 50 Crick staff marched in the #PrideInLondon Parade the weekend before last under the wider Proud Science Alliance banner. Thanks to everyone who joined us in celebrating and supporting our diverse LGBTQIA+ community! And a huge thanks to The Academy of Medical Sciences for inviting all our attendees to the pre-march brunch. We hope to see everyone again in a few weeks at Trans+ Pride on 27 July!
