Course summary

Our research in biological sciences explores the fundamental processes of life across diverse organisms, from microorganisms to complex multicellular species. By studying molecular and ecological interactions that sustain life, we aim to deepen our understanding of biological systems, from cellular functions to the broader ecosystems in which these organisms thrive.IntroductionThe Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology (ISMIB) was established to integrate cutting-edge basic research with clinical research from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. Programmes of work across ISMIB are varied and are led by world experts in their field.Our research spans molecular to ecosystem-level biology, using cutting-edge technologies, bioinformatics, and modelling. We study diverse organisms – viruses, bacteria, fungi, insects, animals, plants, and humans – to understand life at all levels.Comparative genomics and proteomics help us explore genetic variation and evolutionary divergence, supporting studies from population biology to cancer and personalised medicine. Functional genomics employs DNA sequence data to uncover how genes and biological processes work, using AI-inspired tools such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and gene manipulation.Ultimately, we aim to understand how biological systems function as integrated wholes, using the latest advances in genomics and post-genomic science.Research topicsWe particularly welcome research proposals that match those of our researchers, including:Genomic analysis of pathogensEnvironmental microbiology and virologyGene expression, regulation and cell signalling mechanismsAnimal physiologyMolecular toxicologyBionanotechnologyPlant breeding and biotechnology.
