The University of Bristol is among the forerunners in synthetic and engineering biology research, teaching and innovation. This activity is cooridinated across the University and with our key partners.

With wide-ranging applications from health to food security and defence, we combine pioneering synthetic biology approaches with understanding biomolecular systems to deliver the rational design and engineering of biological systems for useful purposes.

This is delivered through multidisciplinary research which brings together postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, academics, policy makers and industry, whilst also engaging the public with emerging solutions to global challenges.
