Research and discovery
Only by bringing together expertise from different disciplines can we solve today’s global challenges.
Scientific change is accelerating. We cannot predict where discoveries over the next 10, 20 or 30 years will take us. Pioneering fields like synthetic biology and data science require a truly joined up approach. At White City, Imperial is building world-class facilities for collaborative research that transcended traditional academic disciplines. Dedicated spaces bring researchers, clinicians and corporate partners together to focus on four global challenges: discovery and the natural world; engineering novel solutions; health and wellbeing; and leading the data revolution.
Multidisciplinary research
A bold era of discovery
At White City, Imperial is creating dedicated facilities for collaborative research which underpins our four strategic priorities:
- Discovery and the natural world
- Engineering novel solutions
- Health and wellbeing
- Leading the data revolution
