Biosciences research encompasses over 100 different research groups. It brings together biochemists, bioengineers, and cellular, molecular, systems and computational biologists. Together they form a vibrant multi-disciplinary community. Our research in fundamental biology drives forward mechanistic understanding of human diseases with the ultimate goal of improving human health.
