生物科学学院的研究围绕了解活细胞中的系统和过程进行。它具有很强的分子聚焦性，并且具有彼此协同作用并与教学规定互补的前沿活动。我们在生物化学，微生物学和生物医学科学等领域的专业知识使我们能够在遗传学，分子生物学，蛋白质科学，生物物理学和计算生物学领域开发技术并开发具有开创性的思想。研究领域包括从细胞分裂，转录和翻译到分子马达，分子诊断以及生物治疗和生物能源生产的一系列分子过程。生物科学学院的研究生学位旨在为我们的毕业生配备可转让的技能，这些技能在工作场所受到高度重视。我们以研究为导向的精神，确保学生探索科学
Our expertise in disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology and biomedical science allows us to exploit technology and develop groundbreaking ideas in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, protein science, biophysics and computational biology. Fields of enquiry encompass a range of molecular processes from cell division, transcription and translation through to molecular motors, molecular diagnostics and the production of biotherapeutics and bioenergy. Our research degrees are based around laboratory and computational research projects. PhD study involves a 3-4 year research project on a full-time basis, or 5-6 years part-time. In all our research degrees you undertake a single, focused, research project from day one, and attend components of our transferable skills modules. You are supervised by a team which comprises your main supervisor(s) as well as supervisory chairs that give independent advice on progression.
