Multiomics

Our multiomics research programme integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and informatics to provide a comprehensive understanding of complex biological processes, all underpinned by advances in artificial intelligence. By analysing multiple molecular layers of information, we interrogate intricate cellular interactions across various organisms and conditions. This systems-level approach advances fundamental, biomedical, agricultural, and environmental sciences, driving innovation through data-driven discoveries. TheInstitute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology (ISMIB)was established to integrate cutting-edge and clinical research across theFaculty of Health and Life Sciences. Programmes of work across ISMIB are varied and are led by world experts in their fields. Our integration of biochemical research with systems-based studies, including multi-omics, data analysis, structural biology, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence, makes us a global leader. This is further supported by top-tiershared research facilitiesand our commitment to sharing discoveries. We offer intensive PhD programmes with exposure to diverse technologies in our multiomics research programme. Research is multidisciplinary, with strong collaborations across the Institute and wider University, spanning physical, chemical, and clinical sciences. Our multiomics PhD programme is supported by world-class facilities, including theCentre for Genomic Research,Centre for Proteome Research,Centre for Metabolomics Research, andComputational Biology Facility. Topics relevant to this research degree include:
