Hinxton Hall: DNA and Discovery

Explore Hinxton Hall’s role in ground-breaking research as the home of the Sanger Centre, and the Human Genome Project: From global health, to DNA sequencing’s vital role in the battle against Covid-19, find out this site is at the forefront of science.

For our final talk in the series The Hinxton Hall Estate: Georgians, Jet Engines and Genes, we delve into the most recent chapter of the Hall’s fascinating story, beginning with the landmark mapping of the human genome 30 years ago that paved the way for the cutting-edge biomedical research on site today, including our contribution to UK’s crucial Covid-19 surveillance effort.

We explore how DNA sequencing plays a vital role in understanding health and disease, hear from people at the forefront of these discoveries, and celebrate what can be achieved when we make space for science.
