Interdisciplinary Research Themes
In the LSI, we address grand challenges in biology, health and disease through fundamental and applied research. We value an interdisciplinary mindset to answer the most important questions by applying a wide variety of approaches, regardless of specialism. The absence of boundaries that signify traditional scientific disciplines in the LSI fosters a truly interdisciplinary research culture.
Molecular Motion and Sensing
Elucidating and exploiting the modalities by which biological systems sense and respond to their environment.
Physics of Life
Combining biology, physics and mathematics to reveal the organisation and dynamics of living systems.
Cell Engineering
Deconstructing and reconstructing biological phenomena from molecular and cellular component parts
Modelling living systems
Developing and analysing mathematical models to explain and predict function and dysfunction in biological systems
