About

Our mission is discovery without boundaries. We're an independent charity and biomedical discovery institute, home to more than 1,500 scientists working to understand health, disease and how life works. We explore biological mechanisms at all scales from molecules through cells to organisms. To deliver our mission, we bring together expertise from different scientific disciplines and work with different types of organisations across the academic, clinical and industrial spheres. Our discoveries enhance our understanding of the fundamental processes of life, and have the potential to transform the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human disease. By opening our doors to the public and taking our science out into the world, we make lasting connections for maximum impact. Welcome to the Crick – where discoveries change lives and ideas find room to grow. Banner image credit: Katy Hole (Postdoc), Mitochondrial Neurobiology Lab, 2023.
