  1. Microbial Natural Products

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about about the discovery and production of antibiotics and other bioactive molecules from microbial sources, and assessment of antimicrobial mechanism of actions.

  2. Natural Products Toxicology

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about investigating natural products and their toxicity, particularly in their ability to cause toxicity to cancer cells in an effort to identify new potential cancer chemotherapeutic leads.

  3. Natural Products Pharmacology

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out more about the biological effects of natural products and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the observed effects, in order to develop novel drug leads for a range of disease conditions

  4. Industrial Design Group

    The Industrial Design Group has been focusing on human-centred design research that applying Human Factors theory to optimise human well-being and overall system performance.

  5. Galaxy formation and evolution

    The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

  6. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

    By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

  7. Astronomical Technology

    The Astronomical Technology Group is interested in optical and near-IR observations and the technology that facilitates them. Activities of the group include the operation of the robotic Liverpool Telescope and the development of its 4 metre successor.

  8. Cultural criminology

    Cultural criminology research within the Centre for the Study of Crime, Criminalisation and Social Exclusion.
