Institute for Life Sciences

The institute brings together themes of health and medicine, living systems, and insights through data. Our interdisciplinary, collaborative network is made up of over 350 academic members and represents all of the University's faculties.

With researchers in teams across the University, we work on societal challenges by breaking down barriers between disciplines. This includes playing a leading role in the largest worldwide study into the mental and physical effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Life Sciences at Southampton has a varied programme of conferences, seminars and workshops to provide exciting environments for researchers to explore new approaches to research and to share.
