Research Departments
Cell and Developmental Biology
We are a diverse Research Department striving to gain mechanistic insight into biological processes across scales, from organelles to cells to organisms.
Genetics, Evolution and Environment
The UCL Research Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment (GEE) is world-leading in the study of Evolutionary Biology, Human Genetics, Healthy Ageing and Biodiversity research.
Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology
Our mission is to understand cell and tissue function in health and disease through interdisciplinary, discovery-based research and technology development.
Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology
The UCL Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology (NPP) traces its origins to the founding of the Department of Physiology at UCL in 1828, the first of its kind in England.
Structural and Molecular Biology
We are the Research Department of discoveries, new ideas and methodologies in biomolecular sciences.
Centres
Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research
The Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research (CBER) is one of the world’s leading research and training centres in ecology and biodiversity science, supporting the next generation of leaders.
Centre for Integrative Anatomy
We are a specialised centre within the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology (CDB) focused on integrative anatomy. We are a multi-disciplinary group, using diverse and cutting-edge approaches.
Centre for Life's Origins and Evolution
CLOE is a world-leading centre for research into the fundamentals of evolution. We ask why life is the way it is, and how we can apply a deeper understanding to problems from biodiversity to medicine.
Institute of Healthy Ageing
The UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing (IHA) is a centre of excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related diseases.
UCL Genetics Institute
UCL Genetics Institute (UGI) is a Research Centre dedicated to the analysis of Big Genetic Data of a large number of individuals to answer important questions in biology and medicine.
UCL People and Nature Lab
Disruptive thinking in ecology and the environment.
