Our International Fellows are a vital part of our mission to deliver meaningful, world-changing research. From their wealth of knowledge of the scientific questions that will have the most significant impact on their country of origin, they formulate and deliver genomics research projects using Sanger Institute facilities.
The Wellcome Sanger Institute’s International Fellows Programme fosters global collaboration and international leadership in genomic research. We empower mid- to early-career researchers with established positions in research institutes from Low- and Middle-Income Countries to advance and grow their science with access to:
- the Sanger’s cutting-edge genomic technologies, facilities and research environment
- mentorship
- funding
- global networking opportunities.
