Biosciences research encompasses over 100 different research groups. It brings together biochemists, bioengineers, and cellular, molecular, systems and computational biologists. Together they form a vibrant multi-disciplinary community. Our research in fundamental biology drives forward mechanistic understanding of human diseases with the ultimate goal of improving human health.


We offer MPhil, PhD and MD supervision in a wide variety of research areas including:


  • cell division & signalling
  • chromosomes and genome instability
  • gene expression, epigenetics and chromatin
  • RNA biology and protein translation
  • technology and drug development
  • molecular and human genetics and genomics
  • molecular microbiology, metabolomics and antimicrobial resistance
  • host-pathogen interactions
  • microbiota
  • fungal microbiology
  • biochemistry and structural biology
  • bioinformatics
  • neuroscience
  • immunity and inflammation
  • cancer biology
  • ageing and geroscience
  • animal and human behaviour
  • stem cell biology
  • tissue engineering
  • epithelial physiology and disease
  • mitochondrial biology and disease
  • sensory, perceptive and cognitive neurology
  • developmental biology and genetics
  • proteomics
  • comparative and evolutionary genomics
