Institute for Life Sciences

We focus on bold, interdisciplinary approaches to science. We bring together researchers from different fields to explore new technologies and develop fresh ways of thinking about the life sciences. Our work spans a wide range of areas, including medicine, environmental change, technological innovation, and broader social contexts.

The excitement and creativity we generate by bringing together colleagues from across the University is a huge benefit to our research to promote health and well-being with and for young people. Game designers, geographers, biologists, clinicians, anthropologists and psychologists, amongst many others, all contribute to life science research as part of the IfLS.

My research centres on interdisciplinary team science, spanning the fields of engineering, medicine, biological sciences, environmental sciences and data.
