MCISB

MCISB
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.


MIB

Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) is an interfaculty initiative specifically designed to foster a scientific culture in which there are no barriers between the disciplines, thus ensuring that the widest possible range of expertise and techniques can be brought to bear on important bioscience problems.


Collaboration

We closely collaborate with the Laboratory for Bioanalytical Spectroscopy, headed by Prof. Roy Goodacre.

General information

Most of our bioanalytical projects are at the interface between postgenomic biological systems, quantitative analytical chemistry and machine learning, with a special emphasis on evolutionary computing and systems biology.

News

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.

Visitor information

The University of Manchester campus comprises two main areas: the Sackville Street area, formerly the UMIST campus, and the Oxford Road area, formerly The Victoria University of Manchester campus. See maps and directions to The University of Manchester. We are located in both Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (Princess Street) and Faraday Building (Sackville Street).
