Faculty of Life Sciences

The Faculty of Life Sciences is one of the largest and most successful unified research and teaching organisations of its kind in Europe. Our research and teaching are enhanced further by close links with the Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

The Faculty's research encompasses the entire spread of life sciences from the molecule to cell to organism to population, and each of our academic staff are affiliated to one or more of our 18 thematic Research Groupings. Most investigators have multiple, overlapping research interests and also facilitates collaboration between researchers in different themes.

The Faculty also has strong links with four of the Institutes: the Manchester Cancer Research Centre, the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre, the Photon Science Institute, and the Neuroscience Research Institute.
