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.

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



See Professor Kell's BBSRC Blog for regular news items and thought provoking commentary on contemporary issues in science.

We are pleased to announce the formation of the 'Molecular Biotechnology Group' (MBG) – a partnership between the Manchester Centre for Systems Biology (MCISB) and the Centre of Excellence in Biocatalysis, Biotransformations and Biocatalytic Manufacture (CoEBio3). The new group will headed by Dr. Farid Khan of FLS and has funding from Lonza through the Lonza Innovation for Future Technologies (LIFT) scheme. The project will focus on metagenomic and genomic approaches for organism/target protein identification, to create cDNA libraries and express novel bioluminescent enzymes, proteins and biocatalysts.

8th February 2010 - Kathleen Carroll gave birth to Baby Dylon!!

Eva Zelena, has sucessfully completed her Ph.D.

Tom Williamson sucessfully completed his Ph.D.
