Research
The Institute’s long-term research programmes are delivered by four Scientific Divisions. Three Institute Strategic Programmes span the Divisions.
Developmental Biology
The Division of Developmental Biology investigates the mechanisms and control of animal growth and development, from the molecular to the whole organism level.
Genetics and Genomics
Research in Genetics and Genomics is concerned with understanding complex animal systems and developing improved predictive models.
Infection and Immunity
Infection & Immunity researchers aim to understand the interplay between host and pathogen and translate this knowledge into the prevention and treatment of endemic and zoonotic bacterial, parasitic and viral diseases.
Clinical Sciences
The goal of the Division is to improve the lifelong health and welfare of veterinary and human patients.
Institute Strategic Programmes
Three Institute Strategic Programmes, which are funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, span the Divisions of the Institute.
