We apply macromolecular analytical expertise in the coherent study of functional life sciences networks. Our research aims to increase the understanding of the wide-ranging physiology displayed by living organisms as a result of their underlying genetic diversity.
We are pursuing research in:
- Proteomics, glycomics, genomics
- Biotechnology and chemical biology related to cell biology (human, animal, plant and microbe)
- Human disease biomarker discovery
- Agri-food quality trait discovery
- Microbial physiology and pathogenicity
- Gene transfer systems
- Protein post-translational modifications and expression
Integrated technologies
Today’s ‘omics’ tools of genomics, proteomics, glycomics and bioinformatics are allowing the rapid discovery and analysis of gene inventories and phenotypes across a range of life-science applications. These are a focus of many groups now concentrated in the Centre. This integration is enabling new insights into a wide range of biological systems.
World-class biomolecular analysis
Our researchers are international and national leaders in their field. Early career researchers work alongside established scientists, which fosters growth and diversity in molecular approaches.
Real-life applications
Our research facilitates the rapid discovery and analysis of gene inventories and phenotypes for a range of life-science applications. Using cutting-edge science, we are on the path to discoveries that will have uses in the commercial, health and environmental fields.
