Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC)

NBIC is the central hub where academia, industry, government and public policy come together to tackle the grand challenges biofilms present, impacting $4 trillion in global economic activity.

Institute for Life Sciences

We bring together interdisciplinary researchers with expertise across the themes of health and medicine, living systems, disruptive life technologies, and insights through data

Chemical Biology, Diagnostics and Therapeutics

We investigate the properties of biomolecules – including an assortment of DNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.

Interdisciplinary Musculoskeletal Health

The University hosts a substantial interdisciplinary community of researchers working to transform musculoskeletal health across the life course.

Interdisciplinary Dementia and Ageing Centre

We are a network that brings together local expertise from across the research spectrum within the University and University Hospital Southampton. Our aim is to increase understanding of dementia and brain ageing and how to treat and care for people with these conditions.

Southampton Imaging

Imaging has become an essential part of scientific research, from biomedical sciences to engineering to optoelectronics.
