About
The Quadram Institute creates new interfaces between food science, gut biology, human health and disease, capitalising on the world-class bioscience cluster based at the Norwich Research Park. Our scientists work alongside clinicians and work closely with major national and international funding bodies and charities, collaborators and investors to ensure translation of our fundamental science to benefit patients, consumers and wider society.brings together researchers, academics and NHS clinicians to address global challenges in human health, food and disease.
Our institute is home to world-leading researchers making discoveries in the gut microbiome, food and health, alongside the region’s Endoscopy unit which provides outstanding NHS clinical care and is home to the East of England Endoscopy Training Academy. Researchers and clinicians work together on research studies to learn more about how we can improve human health.
Our mission is to deliver healthier lives through innovation in gut health, microbiology and food.
Our mission is to understand how food and the gut microbiota are linked to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, with an emphasis on diet- and age-associated diseases. We use this knowledge to develop evidence-based strategies to maximise positive impacts of food on health, from early life to the extension of a healthy lifespan in old age and reduce the economic and societal costs of chronic diseases.
Our vision is to understand how food and microbes interact to promote health & prevent disease.
