When the Wellcome Sanger Institute needed to rapidly expand its technology capability to support the UK's COVID-19 response and the global MalariaGEN programme, Synapri delivered a specialist contract team that helped build a scalable enterprise data platform. Since 2020, we've continued to provide the niche technology expertise needed to power one of the world's leading genomics research organisations.
Wellcome Sanger Institute are a global leading biomedical research business who undertake large scale genome scientific research which help form the foundation of knowledge in biology and medicine. They use genome sequences to advance understanding of the biology of humans, pathogens and all life on earth to improve human health. They are largely funded by grants to carry out specific research projects.
One of the key teams within the Institute is the Surveillance Operations team. This team is part of a scientific network that connects researchers and clinicians across the globe with cutting-edge DNA sequencing technologies and genomic research.
Due to the nature of core DNA sequencing platforms, the Institute were tasked by Public Health England to help understand the spread of COVID-19.
The scientific led systems which the Institute had in place needed to be rebuilt in order to manage the scale up requirements to an enterprise data platform which was vital to support the programme of work MalariaGEN and COVID-19 created.
Synapri were recommended to the Wellcome Sanger Institute as a Technology Recruitment Partner to assist the Surveillance Operations team as they were due to embark on a huge technology transformation.
Synapri supported the growth of technology contractors for the MalariaGEN program within Wellcome Sanger. We built a contract team who have been responsible for delivering a cutting edge enterprise data platform to support the programme of work Wellcome Sanger Institute required.
The core technology was a mixture of both modern and legacy technology (legacy due to the integration within a number of NHS platforms). The skillsets required were in high demand across the contract market.
The technology used included a mixture of Vue.js, Angular.js front end, Python, Java, APi back end running on Mongo.DB and MySQL databases deployed in GCP, AWS as well as Linux cloud environments.
Synapri placed a programme team made up of Full Stack Developers, QA Analysts, Data Engineers, Data Analysts, DevOps Engineers, Systems Administrators as well as Product Managers and Business Analysts.
We have been supporting this successful programme of work since July 2020 and currently have several contractors running on this programme. Synapri are now helping Wellcome Sanger Institute plan and transition to a permanent workforce supplemented by a core contract team.

I would highly recommend Synapri to any company who is looking to hire specialist Salesforce consultants.
The team at Synapri are honest, reliable and very understanding of requirements which makes working with them very easy and straightforward.

Synapri stands out as a agency who prioritises the client and the candidate.

Ryan was a pleasure to work with and took the time to fully understand the brief for our Customer Product Owner role, as well as the nuances of our business and team. As a unique, family-run organisation serving high-net-worth clients, cultural fit is essential. Ryan communicated clearly and transparently throughout, quickly grasping our expectations and values. His approach resulted in an efficient process, a positive candidate experience, and what we hope will be the perfect hire.
Having worked with many partners in the broader business systems domain over the past 15 years, Synapri has redefined my standards in project collaboration. Without an exception they bring the highest quality candidates, who are an actual match to the requested profile. This team will go above and beyond to build and maintain customer relationships, even when there is no immediate match to be made. Synapri is the definition of a trusted partnership and I would highly recommend anyone to engage with them.
