Our research groups study human, animal, plant and environmental health in an interdisciplinary way.
Chemistry is important to understand life and the environment at the molecular level. A more sustainable approach to develop chemicals tailored to improve health and lessen the impact on the environment is key.
The understanding of life at an organismal and cellular level and ecosystem interactions is the remit of biology and important to health in all areas. Chemical and biological understanding of natural systems is essential to understand human impact on our planet.
Environmental engineering offers technological solutions to remedy environmental issues for a sustainable future.
Research is organised by the Department of Chemistry, Bioscience and Environmental Engineering. It is conducted across various groups, detailed below.
