Life Sciences research

Our research strategy is aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to make a difference to major global challenges. Our staff and students are contributing to high-impact research in areas in biosciences, bioengineering and geosciences. In biosciences, focus areas include infectious diseases and insect vectors of disease, plant health, glycoscience, breast cancer, immune systems, genomics, biochemistry and neuroscience. In bioengineering, our researchers are using cell and tissue engineering techniques to develop new innovative therapies, including pioneering work at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry. In geosciences, we are working in areas across environmental science, geology and human and animal geography. We have strong links with Keele’s Institute for Sustainable Future and the Institute for Global Health and Wellbeing; and have collaborative networks in the UK and across the world.
