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.
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.
World-leading fundamental research discoveries of molecular and macroscopic pathways for cell physiology, health and disease.
Use of cutting-edge analyses and tools from the molecular/cellular level to the whole organism level.
Deciphering mechanistic and dynamic responses to stress and change.
Pioneering a fundamental framework for understanding all main areas of human disease (brain health and neurodegeneration, infection/immunity, cancer, cardiovascular).
