Our interdisciplinary activity in Life technologies spans development of fundamental imaging technologies through to their application addressing key grand challenges in the life sciences.
Our interdisciplinary teams are drawn from across the University utilizing expertise in the sciences, mathematics, engineering, medicine. We integrate end user needs with expertise in health care, major industry, and public engagement.
BiOmics
Technological advances have allowed scientists to gather large amounts of data about a vast array of species, organisms and single cells. Our researchers are using mathematical modelling, machine learning and other algorithms to extract information and patterns from large data sets to further our understanding of disease.
ChemLife Network
Advances in chemistry and molecular biology have revolutionised our understanding of life’s building blocks. We design, explore, and apply these molecules to advance biotechnology, medicine, and sustainability.
Interdisciplinary Dementia and Ageing Centre
We are a network that brings together local expertise from across the research spectrum within the University and University Hospital Southampton. Our aim is to increase understanding of dementia and brain ageing and how to treat and care for people with these conditions.
Interdisciplinary Musculoskeletal Health
The University hosts a substantial interdisciplinary community of researchers working to transform musculoskeletal health across the life course.
Southampton Imaging
Imaging has become an essential part of scientific research, from biomedical sciences to engineering to optoelectronics.
