Cell Biology

Cells are instrumental to the existence of every living organism. An average adult human body alone is made up of over 37 trillion cells.

Developmental Biology

How do organisms grow, reproduce, form tissues and organs? The world of developmental biology looks into how divisions produce cells of highly specialised functions.

Molecular Pathogenesis

The threats posed by pathogens to humans, plants and aquatic life is clear. Tiny viruses and bacteria can cause widespread infectious diseases which are detrimental to the planet’s well-being.

Genome & Ecological Biology

An organism’s genome is the language of life. Woven into a double helix which sits snugly in every cell, it comprises all of life’s genetic material.
