Institutes & Research centres
The School is linked with three Research Institutes:
Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB)
The MIB promotes interdisciplinary, challenge-oriented bioscience and biotechnology at the highest international level. It trains interdisciplinary investigators in key skills to enable them to work successfully across the disciplinary interfaces to biology.
Photon Science Institute (PSI)
The Photon Science Institute aims to be an internationally leading centre of excellence in photon science - 'light for science'. The Institute delivers high quality fundamental and applied research in the area of photon science, alongside accessible postgraduate education and tailored industrial training.
Dalton Nuclear Institute (DNI)
The Dalton Nuclear Institute was launched to act as the engine to drive the coordination and growth of Manchester's nuclear expertise base and to become one of the world leading centres of nuclear research and education.
The School is also home to a number of major research centres, including:
New! Centre for Chemical Intervention in Biology & Medicine (CCIBM)
We have newly established the Centre for Health and Chemical Intervention in Biology and Medicine (CCIBM) in the School of Chemistry and have a Knowledge Transfer Fellow in place to conduct collaborative research.
Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry (KCMC)
The Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry is a centre of expertise that brings together leading edge academic research facilities, knowledge and expertise in applied materials chemistry at the universities of Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester and the molecular modelling capabilities of the Science and Technology Facilities Council at Daresbury.
Centre of Excellence for Biocatalysis, Biotransformations and Biocatalytic Manufacture (CoEBio3)
The CoEBio3 is the UK's new organization designed to provide a world-class scientific environment in which the necessary research and development can be carried out to create new biocatalyst-based processes to meet the changing needs of industry in the next 10-20 years.
Michael Barber Centre for Mass Spectrometry (MBCMS)
The interests and expertise of the Centre are in the development of mass spectrometry and related analytical techniques, and their application to problems of biological importance.
Centre for Nanoporous Materials (CNM)
The Centre for Microporous Materials, CMM, within The University of Manchester, is a joint initiative between the Schools of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science (CEAS) with industry to create a Centre of Excellence in the field of nanoporous materials.
Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB)
The Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB) is funded by the BBSRC and EPSRC to pioneer the development of new experimental and computational technologies in Systems Biology, and their exploitation. This Centre spans the Schools of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Analytical Sciences, Computing Sciences, Mathematics, and the Faculty of Life Sciences.
Organic Materials Innovation Centre (OMIC)
A UK government supported University Innovation Centre for the speciality organic materials and polymer industries. OMIC facilitates knowledge transfer in organic materials from Universities in the northwest to businesses in the UK, helping businesses to innovate and grow.
