The Human Body

Hear from our researchers about their work trying to understand more about the human body, and learn more about how scientists and engineers work together to solve problems.

In this module, you can learn more about some of our staff and students working on topics linked to the human body. Their profile pages contain lots of information about them including their research, inspiration, and their STEM heroes, as well as short interviews. Even more staff and students can be found within the main profile pages, demonstrating lots of different pathways and careers within this topic.

Do watch the researcher talks and try the activities – it's all designed to bring these topics to life!
