Research groups
We are home to over 40 research groups, working on a variety of plant and microbial science research projects, led by our Group Leaders
Read about research groupsWe nurture a creative, curiosity led approach to answering fundamental questions in bioscience, and translate that knowledge into societal benefits
Our research aims to address global challenges and our knowledge of plants and microbes is used to answer fundamental questions, as well as having a significant impact on industrial biotechnology, society and global development.
