Research

The quality and impact of our research has been reflected in the UK government’s latest Research Excellence Framework, where the majority of our assessed research was judged to be world leading or internationally excellent. We are now building on this success and looking to the future with our modern laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment and the Oxford Brookes Centres for Bioimaging and Functional Genomics to ensure our research groups continue to conduct high impact, world-leading research. We are also committed to provide a research environment and mentorship that allows early career researchers with the opportunity to build their independent research in our School including through our Research Fellowship programme.

Opening access to collaboration, innovation, and resources in bioscience, the Bioinnovation Hub (BiH) at Oxford Brookes University offers lab space for rent to start up biotech companies in our recently refurbished CL2 labs on the Headington Campus. Rental cost also includes access to a range of research facilities and basic technical support. The aim of the BiH is to bring early stage biotech companies on campus to foster collaboration between industry and academia, and to offer the opportunity to contribute to the development of the next-generation of workers through offering work experience placements, projects or internships.
