Our Research

Continuing professional development

Specialist courses are designed to raise skill levels and equip employees with the latest information and techniques.

Focusing on research...

The international quality of our research was confirmed by the recent review of research in UK universities (Research Assessment Exercise 2008, RAE2008). Our research is based around Research Groups, which are either discipline-based or themed around staff with similar research activities. The Faculty has 12 Research Groups and each staff member belongs to one of these groups.

Science without boundaries...

“Team working” on major biological problems is central to our overall research strategy. Our Faculty has adopted seven strategic research initiatives to promote cross-disciplinary working in order to address the major challenges that face research in the Life Sciences for the coming decade.
