Research in Life Sciences

Research in the School of Life Sciences ranges from molecular through cellular to the organism level and spans bacteria, viruses, fungi, protists, animals and plants. It is supported by state-of-the-art computational and experimental technologies. Studying this diversity allows us to identify many common principles that operate across the breadth of living systems.

	Our integrated research strategy applies multiple *technologies* to the study of a wide range of biological systems to generate fundamental knowledge as well as a range of *impacts* of direct relevance to the wider community. Biological *systems* manifest different levels of *complexity* that are all related to each other. Thus molecules organize themselves into molecular complexes, pathways and networks that combine to form living cells. In turn, cells build tissues, organs and organisms, and the latter manifest themselves as a huge diversity of species (populations of interbreeding organisms) that live on our planet.
