Research Centres
UCL CBER is an interdisciplinary centre with a goal to develop, undertake and communicate new research at the interface between biodiversity and environmental change.
Activities in the centre will focus on a core research programme as well as bringing together UCL researchers drawn from a range of departments in the Life, Earth, Physical, Social, Computational & Mathematical Sciences.
Core Research themes are Consequences of biodiversity loss, Environmental change and biodiversity and Limits to adaptive change.

The CEE is a cross-institutional association of London-based
researchers interested in ecology and evolution. It organises a series
of seminars ans symposia and administers a small grants scheme.

CoMPLEX is the Centre for Mathematics and Physics in
the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology. A centre for
interdisciplinary research in the life sciences, it brings
together life and medical scientists with mathematicians, physical
scientists, computer scientists and engineers to tackle the challenges
arising from complexity in biology and medicine. In addition, CoMPLEX
runs a doctoral school for students wishing to embark on research at
the inteface between biology and mathematics or physics.

The Institute of Healthy
Ageing is an interdisciplinary centre of
excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related
diseases. It is directed by Prof. Linda Partridge and comprises staff
from GEE as well as other departments within the Faculty of Life
Sciences and the Medical School.

The R.A. Fisher Centre of Computational Biology is an interdisciplinary centre of excellence for mathematical and computational analysis of the fast-growing data in genetics and biology. It was established to commemorate the extraordinary contributions to both statistics and genetics by R.A. Fisher, who was the UCL Galton Professor in 1933-1943 (see departmental history). The Centre is directed by Professor Ziheng Yang FRS, and comprises staff from GEE as well as other departments within the Faculty of Life Sciences

The UGI is a multi-disciplinary research centre focusing on research
into the genetics of human disease and human population genetics. It is
housed in GEE and, in addition to GEE staff, has members from UCL
Medical School.

UCL is a truly multidisciplinary university and has one of the largest concentrations of biomedical research in Europe. UCL Systems Biology has been established to build on the university’s breadth of expertise across disciplines by coordinating and strengthening interdisciplinary systems-biology research across the university. This new and growing community of researchers at UCL using systems approaches to tackle fundamental biological problems includes members of the UCL Life Sciences, UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences, UCL Engineering Sciences and UCL Biomedicine.
