Planning permission has been granted for a new building housing state-of-the-art laboratories that will create the largest grouping of researchers investigating the body’s immunological defence system.

The new building on the UCL’s Royal Free Campus, by a signature architect, has been made possible by partnership funding between the Royal Free Hospital Charity, the Pear’s Foundation and UCL.  

By combining the leadership of Professor Hans Stauss (UCL Medical Sciences) with world-class facilities, the institute will permit us to upscale UCL’s offering in this field, making us the pre-eminent unit in Europe and probably second in the world.
