A £200 million rebuild of the internationally renowned Laboratory of Molecular Biology was given the go-ahead today by John Denham, Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills.
Mr Denham announced that the Cambridge facility will receive the final £67 million needed for its expansion and redevelopment.
Established in 1947, the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) has produced 13 Nobel Prize winners, most recently in 2002, and is where the structure of DNA was discovered and DNA sequencing invented.
The funding will enable the Medical Research Council, which runs LMB, to meet the cost needed to rebuild the 40 year old building and replace it with an innovative research lab. The cutting-edge facility will enable LMB to expand its research portfolio into new areas such as neurobiology. It will also enable the expansion of the Laboratory’s commercialisation activities.
