Currently it is a very large hole in the ground next to King\u2019s cross station. But, with a bit of imagination &#8211; and a trip round the visitor\u2019s centre &#8211; you can picture what will be the world-leading biomedical research institute when it opens in 2015. We learnt more about the ambitious project and the innovative community projects associated with the development.<\/p>\n<p>The Institute will be a unique partnership with a unique vision. The College and its partners &#8211; the MRC, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome Trust, UCL and King\u2019s College London, will combine knowledge, expertise and resources to further our understanding \u00a0of the causes of disease and accelerate discoveries into the clinic. The Institute is an exciting opportunity for the UK; not only providing scientific breakthroughs but also boosting the UK economy.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to take a trip to the site, you can arrange this at <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.imperial.ac.uk\/announcements\/2011\/10\/28\/visits-to-the-francis-crick-institute\/\">http:\/\/www2.imperial.ac.uk\/announcements\/2011\/10\/28\/visits-to-the-francis-crick-institute\/<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can find out more information about the Francis Crick Institute at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crick.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.crick.ac.uk\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dr Sarah Perkins<br \/>\nResearch Strategy Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My colleagues and I took a trip to the site of the Francis Crick institute (18 November).
