Engineering Biology Oxford

Research at the interface of biology, mathematics, computer science and engineering

Our research

Oxford Engineering Biology is an interdisciplinary collection of researchers within the Departments of Engineering and Biochemistry, aiming to tackle the challenges of Synthetic Biology from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Supported by the EEBio Programme Grant, we are working on cutting-edge projects with wide-ranging applications, and in doing so training the next generation of Engineering Biology researchers.
