Fundamentals of Life
Fundamentals of Life is about pioneering blue-sky, curiosity-driven research to develop a full understanding of how living things work both in themselves and within their ecosystems.
Our Ambition
Harnessing our international standing in bioscience discovery research we aim to be a world leading centre breaking down siloed approaches, allowing us to develop novel research areas. We promote a disease-agnostic, interdisciplinary, holistic approach focusing on fundamental mechanisms that underpin life. This will allow transformational advances in pathways that are key drivers in resilience responses to stress challenges and disease.
Our Team
Our Strengths
Fundamental discoveries
World-leading fundamental research discoveries of molecular and macroscopic pathways for cell physiology, health and disease.
Cutting edge analyses
Use of cutting-edge analyses and tools from the molecular/cellular level to the whole organism level.
Understanding the cellular lifespan
