About us

The Division of Biosciences has one of the UK's broadest computational and AI‑driven life‑science programmes. Within the Division of Biosciences, the Research Departments of Cell and Developmental Biology (CDB) and Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology (NPP) have consistently been rated as world‑leading. CDB is an internationally renowned centre for interdisciplinary research, spanning animal development, stem cell biology, functional and evolutionary morphology, neuroscience, organelle biology, and cell signalling. In NPP, research groups are exploring nervous system function across a range of scales that span from the biophysical operation of ion channels through to network dynamics and whole animal behaviour. Both departments have significant and growing strength in NeuroAI and computational neuroscience and this is captured by our divisional “NeuroAI” centre which brings together computational and experimental expertise. The new appointees will join a uni...
