Groups
The Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology at Imperial College is made up of a number of Centres and Groups, with the Institute acting as a coordinating body to bring these together and enhance interaction.
The Institute incorporates the follwoing research groups:
Our research
Centre for Integrative Systems Biology and Bioinformatics
Bringing together scientists from a wide range of different fields to develop innovative interdisciplinary approaches to understanding biological problems.
Director: Professor Mike Sternberg
Centre for Bioinformatics
Promoting and coordinating world-class research and training in Bioinformatics and providing state-of-the-art support to members of Imperial for their research.
Director: Professor Mike Sternberg
Genetics Genomics
Effectively linking genetics and genomics to every medical specialty within the College. Through cutting-edge research, integration with medical care and training of clinical and non-clinical scientists, the research makes cross-Divisional contributions across all Faculties of the College.
Strategic Theme Lead: Professor Tim Aitman
Our research
Synthetic Biology
Combining science and engineering to design and build new biological functions and systems, and to understand existing biological life through its rational redesign.
Biomolecular Medicine
World leaders in multivariate metabolic profiling (metabonomics and metabolomics) and in the statistical integration (chemometrics) of multi-omics data.
Malaria Research
Using systems biology to unravel the questions of malaria biology is another importants aspect of the Institute's research.
Our research
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Research is led by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Head of Department: Professor Paul Elliott
Single Cell Analysis
Creating an advanced suite of technologies for the study of single cells using proteomic approaches.
Syngenta University Innovation Centre
Aiming to address biological research questions of importance to Syngenta through mathematical modelling.
