UKMH Landing
UK Metaproteomics Hub (UKMH)
Bridging microbiome assays, metaproteomics, and AI
UKMH is a collaborative programme based at Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB), Norwich. We connect experimental microbiome assays with state-of-the-art metaproteomics and computational analysis to enable robust, reproducible, function-focused microbiome research. For details of each programme, visit the lead lab websites below.
