The Quadram Institute (QI) is a British centre for research and training in food science and health. It is located in Norwich, England, United Kingdom and it is a member of the Norwich Research Park along with the John Innes Centre (JIC), the Earlham Institute, the local university, the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.[1] It is a registered charity (number 1058499)[2] and receives strategic funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.[3]

The Institute is housed in a purpose-built facility on the Norwich Research Park that opened in 2018.[4] Its founding partners are the Institute of Food Research, University of East Anglia, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.[5] The institute combines research teams from the partners with a regional gastrointestinal endoscopy unit and a clinical trials facility. The first patients were treated in the endoscopy unit in December 2018[6].

Foundation

On 28th April 2017, the Institute of Food Research transitioned into Quadram Institute Bioscience, ahead of a full opening in 2018[7]

Research focus

The Quadram Institute has a research programme that covers four main areas:[8]

  • Food innovation and health
  • Gut microbes and health
  • Microbes in the food chain
  • Food, microbes and public health

The aims of its research are to combat diet-related diseases, develop innovative healthier foods, ensure healthy ageing, and to better understand the microbiota.[9]

Directors

The director is Professor Ian Charles, who was appointed in 2015.[10]

Building

Construction of the Quadram Institute building began in February 2016, and is expected to be completed in 2018.[11] Wates Construction is the main contractor.[12] It was designed by the London office of architects NBBJ.[13] The building can house 300 scientists and 100 more staff supporting the endoscopy centre, as well as having capacity for 40,000 endoscopy outpatient visits each year.
