This Institute is part of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences and was founded in August 2010.  It houses most of the basic molecular life science research at Glasgow University.  The principle aim of the Institute is to establish an internationally competitive centre of research excellence in a multi-disciplinary environment.  The Institute has created an interactive atmosphere where the guiding principle is to conduct basic and applied research at the highest level.  We provide excellent graduate training at both the Masters and for PhD’s.  It is an exciting place to be a young researcher!
 
Currently the Institute has 28 group leaders and is well supported by research grants from the BBSRC, MRC, EPSRC, EU, Human Frontiers of Science Program, the Wellcome Trust and a variety of other charities.  Many of our group leaders have collaborators in laboratories all round the world.
I hope you enjoy visiting our website and discovering about the science we do.
