Systems Biology

456 x 277

Techniques from mathematics and physics are accelerating biological sciences into the 21st century. Our researchers investigate small molecules, characterise proteins and apply next generation genomic technologies to cure crop diseases, investigate genetic disorders and develop novel biotechnologies. From subcellular processes to entire ecosystems, we are developing models to understand systems at every scale.
