PhD / MPhil / MD Structural Biology at University of Liverpool

Programme overview

Our structural biology research explores the molecular architecture of life, from microorganisms to complex organisms, in both healthy and diseased states. By uncovering the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules using state-of-the-art biophysical approaches ranging from X-ray crystallography, NMR and cryo-EM, we aim to advance understanding of biological processes, driving discoveries in medicine, biotechnology, and fundamental life sciences. The Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology (ISMIB) was established to integrate cutting-edge and clinical research across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.
