We’re tackling some of the world’s greatest life science challenges from food security to the impacts of climate change. Our education, research and enterprise activities are grounded in academic excellence.
Whether it's creating wildlife corridors to protect jaguars in Belize or harnessing the antimicrobial properties of copper, our impact goes far beyond the lab. We share our passion for discovery to inspire and nurture the bioscientists of the future. We work with other disciplines and universities, and bring expertise to industry and community partnerships. We're based in a £50 million life science building which is home to a host of facilities.
Research groups, centres and institutes bring together specialists to share knowledge and solve problems.
We're also one of the main research partners in the National Biofilms Innovation Centre.
I am a firm believer that students can’t learn science just from text books, they have to get into the lab and get their hands on some real experiments. This brings the science to life.
Understanding how the brain behaves during “sickness” and “health” holds the key to many of life’s fundamental challenges.
I'm an evolutionary biologist finding ways to answer questions about the veracity of the fossil record and molecular biology to look at gene expression patterns.
My laboratory works with researchers across different disciplines at the Institute for Life Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine, as well as scientists in the Francis Crick Institute.
