Computational Biology

Develop your skills and understanding of the latest veterinary research.

We're committed to addressing the key challenges of our age through research that has an impact. Our research spans across species, improving the health and welfare of animals. From reducing lameness in sheep using technology, understanding cancer, cardiovascular and degenerative diseases, to how viruses and bacteria work, so we can better understand and treat them.

Our expertise are made up of research groups and specialist research centres, including:

- One Virology

- Translational Infection Biology

- Diagnostics and Therapeutics

- Ruminant Population Health

- Antimicrobial Resistance

- Veterinary Education and Professionalism

- Advanced Data Analysis Centre (ADAC)

- Centre for Dairy Science Innovation (CDSI)

- Centre for Evidenced Based Veterinary Medicine (CEVM)

- Centre for Applied Bioethics (CAB)

The School of Veterinary Medicine part of Unit of Assessment (UoA6 Agriculture, Food and Veterinary Science) has improved their position in the upper half of the UoA and seen a significant increase in the proportion of outputs assessed as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ from those submitted to REF2014. The Unit’s research environment is also recognised as being 75% ‘world-leading’ and 25% ‘internationally excellent’. Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.
