  1. Phytochemistry and Phytotherapy

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about all aspects of phytochemical and phytotherapy research, as well as some modernised aspects of pharmacognosy.

  2. 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.

  3. Natural Products Analysis

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about incorporating instrumental methods development and new applications of existing instrumental methods to address natural products research.

  4. Natural Products Synthesis

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out more about total or partial synthesis of natural products.

  5. 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

  6. Nutraceuticals Functional Foods

    The Centre for Natural Products Discovery is concerned with preventing and curing disease. Find out about the abundance of scientific evidence that indicates that certain naturally occurring, non-nutritive and nutritive chemical components may prevent or reduce the risk of some chronic diseases.

  7. Applied Forensic Technology Research Group

    The Applied Forensic Technology Research (AFTeR) Group is interested in all aspects of the application of technology within the field of forensic work. A particular focus is on audio and video forensics.

  8. (Post)qualitative Research in Education

    The (Post)qualitative Research in Education group recognises and works across the following areas of activity and interest: ‘Research in Psychogeography, Post-qualitative inquiry, Autoethnography, and Life-Writing in education’ (RiPPALe).

  10. 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.
