These research areas are complemented by expertise in SLS and WMI, such as in systems and engineering biology, including within SLS’s quantitative and engineering biology cluster (QSEB). Both departments have an excellent track-record of high-impact research and publications, grant-funding success and nurturing early career researchers.
