Overview

The Biochemistry, Cell and Systems Biology programme at University of Liverpool has excelled in teaching and research since 1902, when the world’s first Chair of Biochemistry was established in Liverpool. Its integration of biochemical research with systems-based studies, including multiomics, data analysis, structural biology, synthetic biology, and AI, makes it a global leader. This is further supported by top-tier research facilities and a commitment to sharing discoveries.

We offer intensive PhD programmes with exposure to diverse technologies. Research is multidisciplinary, with strong collaborations across the Institute and wider University, spanning physical, chemical, and clinical sciences. Technologies include electrophysiology, biosensors, proteomics, transcriptomics, NMR, X-ray crystallography, enzyme assays, confocal microscopy, nanoparticles, protein modelling, and molecular biology.
