The Division of Biosciences has one of the UK's broadest computational and AI-driven life-science programmes . Modern machine learning, generative modelling, and statistical inference are applied to fundamental questions across the Division's full scope: from genome and protein modelling to cellular imaging, neural circuit dynamics, and planetary-scale biodiversity. Sustained recruitment at the computational/biological interface has built a community where theory, code, and experiment sit alongside each other, and that work is now being consolidated under a single AI for Life framework, with coordinated investment in academic posts, computational infrastructure, and training.
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 internationa...
