Research lies at the heart of the School of Life Sciences and underpins our outstanding Undergraduate and Postgraduate taught courses, and our vibrant programme of Postgraduate Research.

Life Sciences’ research activities are organized around five subject group

• Biochemistry and molecular biology
• Chemistry
• Evolution behaviour and environment
• Genome damage and stability
• Neuroscience

However, collaboration and cross-disciplinary research cut across these groups at all levels. Our collaborations extend to other Schools in the University, including the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and to other Universities and Research Institutes world-wide.
