Overview
Welcome to the website of the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) at the University of Manchester.
The MIB is a new type of university research institute positioned at the interface of the physical sciences and life sciences. Our mission is to enable our community to explore specific areas of interdisciplinary quantitative bioscience at the highest level, largely through the efforts of multidisciplinary research teams.
Our research is focused on "new era" interdisciplinary bioscience, in which we develop quantitative models of naturally evolved biological systems and also design and create new biological systems with novel functional properties.
The MIB building was completed in 2006. It provides the physical infrastructure, research environment and culture in which cutting-edge research at the interface to biology can flourish. The design of the building promotes interaction and openness between researchers from different backgrounds thereby removing physical barriers to research collaboration.
The MIB works in partnership with all four Faculties of the University of Manchester, and all group leaders in the Institute are members of Schools within the university. Our work is therefore fully integrated into the research strategy of the University.
If you have any enquiries or wish to visit us, please refer to the Contact us section. We look forward to hearing from you.
