The Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH) is a new multidisciplinary laboratory for cutting-edge research in physical and life sciences.

Costing £26.4 million, the RCaH represents significant government investment in science, and provides laboratory space for 150 people.

The RCaH is addressing a number of important and challenging areas including:

  • biological imaging
  • drug development and delivery
  • chemical processing
