Engineering Biology Research

Engineering biology (know as synthetic biology outside of the UK) is the rational design and engineering of biological systems for useful purposes. Engineering biology research and innovation across the University of Bristol is coordinated with key collaborators and external partners. Researchers across the University draw together a broad base of theoretical and experimental expertise across the life, physical and engineering sciences to address the understanding, design and engineering of biomolecules, biomolecular systems, and bioinspired devices. There are over 100 active biodesign projects taking place across the University. These involve academics, researchers and students from many different disciplines.
