Research groups and centres
Our faculty and researchers are organized into various research groups. While issue work is interdisciplinary, the groups listed below are organized around the four main areas in which we work (Environmental Biology; Biochemistry Genetics; Chemistry; Physics and Applied Mathematics), which correspond to the Departments under the School of Science.
