Course summary

Biological Sciences at the University of Chester is based around an innovative group of about 30 academic staff, research students and post-doctoral workers, committed to providing high-quality teaching and research.

Several external bodies collaborate with the Department, including Cheshire Wildlife Trust, Veterinary Tissue Bank Ltd, and Chester Zoo. These connections are further enhanced by links with other regional and international universities.

The research facilities include four biochemistry/cell biology laboratories containing tissue culture and flow cytometry facilities, as well as UV-Vis, fluorescence and atomic emission spectroscopy facilities. In addition, we have a cell imaging (fluorescence microscopy) suite, a microbiology laboratory, a molecular biology lab with PCR and RT-qPCR instrumentation, a stem cell research laboratory and two newly built laboratories dedicated to conservation biology/genetics and animal behaviour and stress research.
