Systems biology research at the University of Aberdeen is centred on a growing number of interdisciplinary interactions between biologists, physicists, computing scientists and engineers. This thriving network of collaborations is underpinned by significant Research Council funding. The research teams are focused on systems biological investigations at a variety of scales, from the molecular and cell level, to modelling of cells and tissues, whole populations and continent-wide environmental processes.
The application of mathematical and systems biology approaches, ranging from applied dynamics through stochastic to qualitative reasoning is enabling swift progress to be made in understanding complex biological, medical and environmental systems. The Systems Biology Research Programme is constantly seeking to broaden this portfolio by applying this powerful suite of approaches to new areas of investigation.
NEW: MSc in Cell and Molecular Systems Biology, starting Autumn 2010
Applications are invited for an exciting new Masters programme offering a
number of fully-funded BBSRC studentships for the September 2010 intake. The
new MSc in Cell and Molecular Systems Biology is aimed at students with
either a biological or physical sciences background. Full details of the
taught programme, entry requirements and the eligibility requirements for
the full BBSRC Masters studentships, can be found at the Graduate School web site
