The Biodata Innovation Centre, developed at the Wellcome Trust's Genome Campus in Hinxton, was designed to foster innovation and attract high-quality biodata companies. The project's primary goal was to create a dynamic incubator that aligns with the translational goals of the campus’s institutes, promoting collaboration and advancing the field of biodata.

Spanning 3,000 square meters across two levels, the Centre is strategically positioned adjacent to the sequencing laboratories of the Sanger Institute. This location facilitates seamless integration and interaction between the Centre and the cutting-edge research taking place next door.

The design of the Centre emphasises flexibility and collaboration, featuring adaptable breakout and meeting spaces to encourage knowledge-sharing among businesses. In addition, the facility includes a café and essential amenities connected by a bridge link, enhancing the overall environment for networking and innovation.

The successful completion of this project has not only provided a state-of-the-art environment for start-ups and established businesses but has also attracted additional participants and revenue to the Genome Campus, cementing its role as a hub for biodata excellence.
