Lancaster University
Bioscience research at Lancaster University spans the molecular to ecosystem scales, with key strengths in plant and pathogen sciences, and with a research focus that aims to identify solutions
To global challenges and to promote healthy lives and environments. Its campus houses a collegiate community of world-class researchers, government scientists, and commercial enterprises, fostering collaboration and research excellence at disciplinary and interdisciplinary levels, in an approach that underpins the translation of fundamental discoveries into real-world impact. World-class photosynthesis facilities and research is housed within the Lancaster Environment Centre, where researchers aim to improve carbon assimilation in crops through their interactions with breeders and agronomists. These interactions exemplify this partnership’s strengths and are associated with BBSRC’s theme of Bioscience for sustainable agriculture and food.
