Research Facilities

The new NHM buildings at TVSP will will house state-of-the-art laboratories for molecular biology, conservation and specimen preparation. There will also be cryo-facilities for tissue storage, digitisation suites, collaborative research spaces, computing clusters and workspaces.

In the meantime, laboratories and facilities at both organisations can be made available for colleagues’ research activities. Please see the links below for what is available, and do reach out to uor-nhm-partnership@nhm.ac.uk if you have any queries.

University of Reading Facilities

• The university has an excellent range of facilities for use by staff, students, and external collaborators. Please find details of what is available here.

Natural History Museum Facilities

• The Natural History Museum has extensive facilities for understanding natural history. Please find details of what is available here.

As building work begins on the NHM site at TVSP, we will increase the focus on conversations around potential joint large-scale funding applications for analytical equipment and research infrastructure.
