Life Sciences

We have three main research themes in the School of Life Sciences: biosciences, geosciences and bioengineering, each with sub-themes reflecting our key interests. We also host the Centre for Applied Entomology and Parasitology (CAEP) and the Centre for Glycoscience Research and Training.

Research groups

Centre for Applied Entomology and Parasitology

The Centre (CAEP) conducts fundamental and applied research on vector-borne parasites and viruses of medical importance, the insect vectors of these pathogens, insect agricultural pests, and fish diseases and immunology.

Centre for Glycoscience Research and Training

The Centre provides the core research tools and capabilities necessary to support understanding and deconvolution of the most complex and yet most under-explored class of biological macromolecules found in nature.

Centre for Science and Technology in Medicine

The Centre for Science and Technology in Medicine strives to build on Keele’s internal and external reputation in this research space. Key to the success of this, as our long-term vision, is the cultivation of cross-School/University-wide collaborations, improving clinical and industrial engagement and supporting our members, in particular our outstanding early career researchers.
