TheQuadram Institute is a centre for food and health research, combining Quadram Institute Bioscience (formerly the Institute of Food Research), the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals' endoscopy centre and aspects of theUniversity of East Anglia'sNorwich Medical School and the Faculty of Science. It is located on the outskirts ofNorwich,England, and is a member of theNorwich Research Park.
The institute is housed in a purpose-built facility on the Norwich Research Park that opened in 2018.[5] Its founding partners are Quadram Institute Bioscience, University of East Anglia, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.[6] The institute combines research teams from the partners with a regional gastrointestinalendoscopy unit and aclinical trials facility. The first patients were treated in the endoscopy unit in December 2018.[7]
TheInstitute of Food Research was created in 1968, spread over four sites; theMeat Research Institute at Langford nearBristol, the Food Research Institute (FRI) atColney in Norwich, the National Institute for Research in Dairying (NIRD) inShinfield near Reading, and theLong Ashton Research Station. At the end of 1990, the Meat Research Institute Bristol laboratory was closed, and in 1992 the National Institute for Research in Dairying Reading laboratory was moved to the campus of theUniversity of Reading. In 1999, the institute's activities were consolidated in one location: Norwich.[1] On 28 April 2017, the Institute of Food Research transitioned into Quadram Institute Bioscience, ahead of a full opening of the Quadram Institute in 2018.[8] The founding director is Ian Charles, who was appointed in 2015.[9]
