The Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI) in Harwell is a national Institute founded in partnership with King’s and other leading universities and funded by UKRI. Its mission is to strengthen the life sciences through basic technology development and groundbreaking interdisciplinary research.
King’s aims are to widen and accelerate its research though novel collaborations both in fundamental technology and AI development, and in applying new technologies to challenging biological and medical problems. We will collaborate in various ways, through secondments, research visits, joint studentships, and joint grants.
The RFI’s core research is organised around five themes, please see details below and follow this link for further information.
- AI and Informatics
- Biological Mass Spectrometry
- Correlative Imaging
- Next Generation Chemistry
- Structural Biology

Visits and exchanges: King’s can provide funding for materials, travel and local accommodation for research visits and pilots. For further details on available funding, please follow this link (Intranet page).
Our partnership allows for King’s staff to work at the RFI on longer periods of secondment, for specific research projects.
RFI studentships: Each year ten core PhD projects are co-designed and supervised with University partners. Planning usually starts in January.
Joint grants and consortia: The institute encourages collaborative grant applications, often bringing together several partner universities in multidisciplinary consortia.
