Expertise within The Liverpool Institute for Research in Education spans the following topics: school leadership, children's development, technology in education, sports and outdoor education, teacher's professional development, STEM education, and the theory and politics of education.
The Astrophysics Research Institute specialist subject areas include theoretical galaxy formation, time domain astrophysics, stellar populations and astronomical instrumentation. Discover more about each of these areas.
Research within the Contexts of Human Evolution Group involves archaeological, palaeontological and environmental analyses of human evolution. Our research focuses on mammalian evolution, hominin behaviour and ecology, and patterns of faunal and floral distribution. Discover our research areas and current projects, facilities, collaborations, publications and people.
Our interest lies in the evolution of animal societies and the interactions that occur within these societies and their link to emotion, cognition and communication. We primarily study primates (including humans) but also other species including birds. Find out more about the Social Behaviour, Ecology and Conservation Research Group's work, collaborations, publications and meet the research team.
Through the fields of palaeoanthropology, bioarchaeology, palaeogenetics, evolutionary genetics and human biology - we study human variation. Discover more about human variation and adaptability, the projects we are currently working on, read our papers, and meet the researchers.
The Public Health Institute provides the expertise to inform the delivery and development of interventions and services to those programmes that address food, physical activity, women's health, health of refugees and asylum seekers, mental health and employment.
At the Public Health Institute we provide advice to policymakers in consideration of the relationship between the environment and public health. Projects include: the use of parks, climate change, economic benefits of green infrastructure and evaluation of green projects for the community.
The Public Health Institute is involved in some important research. Read our case studies to gain a good summary of the type of projects we're engaged in.
Our research aims to improve cardiovascular health via exercise training and physical activity. Our two main areas of expertise are cardiac function and structure and vascular function and structure in health and disease.
The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
