Biological and Chemical Sciences is a large and expanding academic unit,
which provides a supportive and friendly environment and encourages
interdisciplinary research. We are embarking on a 5 year programme of

advance its areas of internationally-competitive activity. The School

Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. The School is also
embarking on an exciting joint venture with Nanchang University in
