The Manchester Centre for
Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB)
will pioneer the development of new technologies in Systems Biology - a
new approach to genomics which uses complex computational and
mathematical analysis to advance on traditional methods. |

20M
for new approach to biology The Biotechnology and
Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) have announced an investment
totalling almost 20M in three new Centres for Integrative Systems
Biology. The new centres, at Imperial College London and the
Universities of Manchester and Newcastle, will help to revolutionise
the way that bioscientists think and work, by enabling
multidisciplinary research combining theory, computer modelling and
experiments in a systems approach across the life sciences and
industry. The University of Manchester has been awarded 6m to open a
new biocentre which will revolutionise the way future medicines are
produced - making them safer and more effective. The Manchester
Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB) will
pioneer an entirely new approach to biology which will not only help
pharmaceutical companies to develop better drugs, but potentially
reduce the time it takes to develop them. The centre will pioneer the
development of new technologies in Systems Biology - a new approach to
genomics which uses complex computational and mathematical analysis to
advance on traditional methods.
