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. We have particular interests in chemical genomics, network biology and e-science. Other areas include pharmaceutical drug transporters, iron as a major cause of disease, and synthetic biotechnology.

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 inthe Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (Princess Street). Parking is in the Charles St car park, satnav M1 3BB. A nice colour pdf map of the city centre may be found here.
