Research groups and centres
Our lecturers and researchers work in various research groups. Although in a good number of cases the activity carried out is interdisciplinary, below are the groups around the four main areas in which we work (Environmental Biology; Biochemistry and Genetics; Chemistry; Physics and Applied Mathematics), which coincide with the optional Departments that depend on the School of Sciences.
